Gorgeous tarantula, to me it looks very much like a Brachypelma albopolisum - male - as it's very leggy but I don't see any tibial spurs.

I could be wrong - but that would be my guess.

A matured male of some smaller species. Where did you collect him?

If it was collected locally, I would think it might be Cyrtopholis sp.?

Hi all,

The French Lesser Antilles, especially the island or I live has never made the object of the arachno search.
In Lesser Antilles, the present genus are Holothele, Acanthoscurria, Avicularia and Cyrthopholis.
As Scourge I think however it is Cyrtopholis, but not being sure.

She will soon have a name, I sent a specimen to the museum of Paris for the identification, it is maybe a new species.{D

I don't think it's a male lasiodora - we have one and I've seen many others - that one is missing the colour combo on a male lasiodora.

I still believe it's more likely an ablopolisum or other closely related brachypelma.

It's definitely male. The modified palps are clearly visible.

I have always been a leg man, ..... well an 8 legged woman. Nice Tarantula.
I think it is a male too. Please let us know when you get back a positive ID.

Yes it is indeed a mature male.
When I would receive analyses I shall resuscitate this post to give its name.
