Anyone keeping these? I saw a post on Facebook. They are very awesome looking. Almost like a bumble bee pattern on a spider.

I never hear of them until now.

Funny you mentioned that... They used to be called "Holothele sp. Colombia (bumblebee)" in the hobby before they were described in 2015.

Thats funny, they look good and with Neoholothele Incei being one of my favorite species, I now have to add these guys to my list of wants.

Maybe they will be more common in the hobby in the future.

From what I read on an article about them, the name fasciaaurinigra, actually stands for gold and black stripes.

They are not easy to come by. That’s my AF above.

Also they are not easy to breed, and more delicate than incei to keep. Highly secretive too.
What's the DLS of your AF? I've seen you post pictures of her a few times before, she really is stunning :)
