If there W/C give them a check for there belly band a lot of P.chordatus are sold as Zimbabwe grey's as well (even tho most of them are from Tanzania).

c.meridionalis

Versus have you checked her underside for a cream band (like P.regalis) as her markings around the eyes look very P.chordatus :?

NP i thought you had to so you could check her, they can look very close but iv seen a lot being sold online as C.meridionalis that were more lightly P.chordatus,
The markings on both can vary but if you look close at the marking on the spiders in Phil's pictures on the link i posted and compair them to that spider you will see the differnce in the "mask" around the eyes but the way to tell for sure is to check for the belly band al la P.reg.

HI Guys
I'd agree with fry, looks more like P.chordatus
here are the pix i took for a recent breeding article on C.meridionalis, this will help distinguish between P.chordatus and C.meridionalis.
the 1st two pix are P.chordatus, notice the absence of the cream band under the abdomen, this specimen is a bit faded as it moulted shortly after thse pics were taken.

the next two pix are C.meridionalis.

hope this helps
