Tarantulas of Chile

[Tazeday]

Wild Grammostola Rosea (normal colour form) that I have Found here in Chile
Wrongly called “G.porteri” because it was exported under that name, but that dont have any scientific bases. The descrption of G.porteri is very bad and the drawings are very poor, no no one really know how a G.porteri is. Anyway, the most probable is that soon G.porteri will stop being a valid species.

Wild Euathlus parvulus (green colour form). This specie is many times wrongly selled as “Paraphysa scrofa”, also it has a lot of colour form’s (RCF, DCF, NCF, GCF, YCF, etc)

I always thought porteri was this more grey one, and rosea is what is sometimes called G porteri RCF?

Yeah, the G.rosea of the hobby is the RCF rosea

 

[Tazeday]

Wild Euathlus sp “valparaiso” (Ex Aphonopelma aberrans) that I found, they are very very common on the V region of Chile.

Is this not sold as Euathlus sp. chocolate too?

The genus is such a mess.

 

[Tazeday]

wild juvenile Euathlus manicata (Ex Paraphysa scrofa). When they are juvenile’s they have that characteristic green colour on their cefalotorax, and when they grow bigger the colour change into gold. There’s a lot of different morphs in this species, that is also wrongly selled as “Euathlus truculentus”

All great pics. There are many beautiful Ts from Chile. Unfortunately the scientific classification is lacking.

Do you know if the geographical distribution of E. species Red, and E. sp. Yellow overlap at all?

Well,the distributio of Homoeomma sp yellow is from the V region to the VI, while the desitribution of the H.sp red is in the South of the VI and in the VII y think
