@Paul1126 these guys were known in the hobby as E. pulcherrimaklaasi. However, in a revision article, it was found out that the specimen described as E. pulcherrimaklaasi was actually, a Bumba, wrongly described as Euathlus so, they just relocated the specimen to it actual genus and kept the species, hence, B. pulcherrimaklaasi, which is totally different from the individuals in the hobby.
After that, in the hobby, the individuals named as E. pulcherrimaklaasi, were Euathlus, indeed, but they didnt have a species name, anymore. Recently, some keepers discovered they are E. truculentus, and thats the one you have.
