Xamiatus rubrifrons, Microstigmatidae

Pretty stoked to have one of these arrive as a mystery box. Red-jawed Bearded Wishbone Spider (Xamiatus rubrifrons). Microstigmatidae family (formerly Nemesiidae).
You did it. You actually found the holy grail. Im astonished, nothing can surpass my joy of FINALLY seeing this species in the hobby

Beautiful spider, a few have been found by a couple of people lately so it's a positive sign for future breeding in the hobby. This girl is about 2.5cm body (5cm total) so still some growth to go. Now Xamiatus magnificus would be something special.
 
Take a good look at this specimen everyone, one of the rarest of the rare after X. magnificus I'm told...

Thanks for sharing,

Arthroverts
