@xenesthis I've read that the 'cf. insignis' is most likely sp. 'machala'. Have you seen any similarities of the two if you own both species?

Not yet. I just know the the real "insignis" lack the xmas pattern on their abdomens, so when these came in from Europe last year, I questioned their validity to be real "insignis". From years back, in my opinion, the real "insignis" female are much stockier than "machala" females.

My apologies, I think I worded my previous question wrong. I know that the real insignis we have now, the one lacking the Christmas tree pattern, is not the machala, I meant the one that we labeled cf. insignis for a while.

Don't know. I'm growing up some now and we shall see the differences if any.

@antinous: I need to grow up these "P. cf. "insignis" another 2-3 molts to really know. I suspect they look nothing like the real P. insignis (Colombia).

Pic request contrasting the adult females and mature males of the following:

Pamphobeteus sp. "ANTIOQUIA" = P. verdolaga (some believe these two to be the same species)
vs
P. sp. "PAISA"

Thanks!

Pamphobeteus petersi - wild-caught large adult female 7.5" in a large, natural set up (She thinks she is in the rainforest :). Tomorrow night, a mature male will be introduced to her for a breeding attempt.
