First, this definitly does not look like A. huriana...

I bought very similar spiders (that looks a lot like A. urticans like one pointed out, who knows, maybe another regional variant) a while ago... They were sold to me as an un-identified species of Avic (Avicularia sp.) originating from Peru also (like A. urticans)... that is all I can say about them...

Regardless of A. geroldi being a different species or not then A. avicularia... I think a freshly molted full grown A. geroldi is very different looking then a freshly molted full grown A. avicularia and they have a lot more blue then we tend to give them credit for. It does not mean in anyway that I agree or not that they are a different species, I am no taxonomist... but I know what my eyes see! I personnally think they are worth to have for those Avicularia lovers out there. You have to have seen freshly molted adults for REAL and not only pictures, slings or juveniles...
