There's nothing in the picture to give a sense of scale, no size was mentioned, and only one pedipalp is visible from a top down view. If I may ask, how are you 100% sure
educated guess based on how it looks.....likely was the key to my prior statement....it just doesnt look like an adult, but doesnt look like a sling either.
I say S. cal (possibly H. mac) because thats how they look aside from the carapace (which could just be glare, or an anomaly)...but the carapace certainly does look like that of a Psalmo.
There's nothing in the picture to give a sense of scale, no size was mentioned, and only one pedipalp is visible from a top down view. If I may ask, how are you 100% sure (genuinely p as you're more experienced)? To me, it's much, much more visually similar then any pic I've seen of S. cal at any stage of development. I'm not saying it's 100% a P. pulcher or a MM, but I am saying that 100% it's Psalmopoeus and I'll gladly eat crow if I'm wrong.
I don't own S. cal either and I understand they can be quite variable in appearance, but don't they lack the iridescence this specimen displays, as well as this specimen is lacking the darker carapace/abdomen markings typically seen with S. cal.
@Jocbean, can we get more pictures from different angles and a DLS measurement? This is getting interesting.
It's only a small juvie 4-5cm dls. Pretty sure is not a Psalmopoeus as looked totally different from most of them as a sling. I suspect its a Tapinauchenius of some kind due to the indentations
@Jocbean
i forgot to wrote. For a proper distinction between Tapinauchenius, Pseudoclamoris, Psalmopoeus you can looking for someone who can check the lyra at the pedipalp at the next exuvia.
