I have two Holothele longipes, I acquired each from a different seller. One looks like other H. Longipes I've seen, the other... doesn't. I'm not sure if it's correctly identified. It's super fast, made an above ground web tunnel with a dirt curtain and has webbing everywhere
I agree it does not looks like Holothele.
Based on the shape and wide of the fovea (slightly procurved) i guess it belongs to the Selenocosmiinae, likely into the genus Phlogiellus.
For a proof, it should be cecked if the typically stridulatory organs are present.

Hear me out: C.longipes used to be Haplopelma longipes, and if the seller advertised it under its old classification, but only as H.longipes, the OP could have presumed it meant Holothele, but it did not.
