As the title says! This covers a lot of ground mind you.
We don't quite have the breadth of what Europe has to offer as reliably, with some exceptions that have been trail-blazed on this continent, and long-term hobbyists and breeders often notice the "dry spells" with species that tend to disappear like Bigfoot only to reappear years later, so it's nice to have a diverse set of folks giving their insights (including those who aren't in North America and have some perspective to offer).
So what could use propagation in your opinions? This includes everything from species that were around, but suffered from a lack of popularity and in turn less breeding attempts, those that came in limited numbers or later restrictions that dwindled available breeding stock, or those species that are simply criminally underrated in your opinions or otherwise overlooked in place of more common choices (Thrixopelma ockerti as compared to say, Aviculariinae and GBBs is one that comes to mind for me, not a lot of folks with interest it seems).
I know I've ran into instances where a species was sitting around lists for a while, caught my eye and then disappeared for prolonged periods afterwards making for something of a where's Waldo without EU imports of CB slings to fill in the gap, sometimes not even that being a possibility. Hell, knowing what folks overseas have struggled to find consistent CBs for isn't a bad thing, so please feel free to share!
