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.

I have not heard any sound from it and am googling how to check on stridulatory organ. Thank you for a lead to look into.
 
The presence of such stridulatory structures does not mean that the spider is making noise.

For the verification you need
  1. a old skin or dead specimen
  2. some knowledge that you can find for example in these paper (https://doi.org/10.1155/2016/9895234)
  3. a binocular (magnification around 20x)...

...or sombody who can do this for you.
 
Sorry for necroing this one but I have a theory:

Cyriopagopus longipes

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.
