Species Pelinobius muticus

[GoTerps]

I got this specimen as a 0.5" sling on 01-26-2003. 2-1/2 years later it's finally reached about 2.5" !! LOL.

Absolutely gorgeous spiders IMO.

Freshly molted ~2.5" Citharischius crawshayi.

How big do the Citharischius crawshayi. get, nice pics by the way

 

[oblivion56]

nice one jbrd...they get around 8-9 inches or so.but the cool thing is they are usually a very pissy spider that will hiss and throw threats like crazy!

Mine just molted, but this is all I usually see of it:

It's probably somewhere around 1 1/4" - 1 1/2".

BTW - are there any other members of this genus?

BTW - are there any other members of this genus?

The only other described member is Citharischius stridulantissimus. Strand described this as Monocentropella stridulantissima in 1907 but in 1985 Raven found Citharischius to be a senior synonym of Monocentropella.
