Ahhh, you've spoken to Tom? Isn't he the most wonderful, enthusiastic guy? I absolutely adore him, I never would have met him without my friend PenneyW who gave me his phone number. And he's not long distance for me, we can talk for DAYS!GQ. said:MizM,
I agree, all the A. eutylenum I have found are uniformly dark chocolate brown with no pattern. They do not look even close, as far as color, as "Aphonopelma 'eutylenum' type". I'm not sure why it is called "Aphonopelma 'eutylenum' type", but I suspect it is simply because no one has seriously taken a look at them. I believe I talked to Tom about this awhile back. I'm aging and my memory is shorter by the minute, so I may be mistaken. Maybe I'll drop him an email about it. Rick West also thought they were probably 'eutylenum' type from a picture I sent to him.
I end up naming my eutylenums "chocolate" names because that's what they look like! Hershey, Mr. Goodbar, etc. have ALL lived in MY house!!
