Nice looking T. They're on a lot of dealers' lists as Omothymus or Cyriopagopus sp. "purple zebra", as well. I think technically they should be Ornithoctoninae sp. "purple zebra", because they haven't been assigned to a genus (Cyriopagopus, Omothymus, or Ornithoctonus), but I may be wrong. @l4nsky - do you know anything about the origins of this one?
I just googled the sp and the only pics or posts I found were on reddit and one of those was asking if it's a hybrid, I would make a proper post and ask the more experienced keepers that know about stuff like this. Absolutely stunning btw.
Just incase @NMTs ,@l4nsky , @Matt Man have any of yous ever heard anything about this sp?

They're not really new. Only to the US the are new. But they've been worked on and bred in Eastern Countries including Asia, China, Persia, etc. EU got them some time back and now we are starting to see them in the US. I don't think they're worth the hype as a lot of people got a head start already breeding them and will most likely get saturated soon.
They are a species that everyone is currently speculating. Some say they are just C. albostriatus "Ratchaburi" which is a locale of C. albostriatus. Some say it's a new species entirely, but some speculate it's just a locale of Cyriopagopus or something of that matter.

I've seen them starting to pop up on lists, but beyond that I can't really contribute anymore then what's already here except to say they're most likely a fossorial, moisture dependent species. I do see a resemblance to C. albostriatus 'Ratchaburi' as @Liquifin pointed out, but it's a gorgeous species regardless.

Really? She was listed as arboreal and has been staying on her perch/webbing so I assumed as much. She doesn’t seem uncomfortable at all but does that mean she could still be fossorial?

Arboreal Ornithoctoninae species tend to be lankier and have enlarged/exaggerated scopula pads on the first two pairs of legs to aid in climbing, whereas fossorials tend towards the opposite.
