This tiny, precious creature was sent to me as a Cyriocosmus elegans. Clearly it is not.
Is there another Cyriocosmus that has a "U" with radiating lines coming from it on its abdomen besides Cyriocosmus leetzi?
C. nicholausgordoni, which doesn't appear in the hobby (or it actually does, but is sold as leetzi).
Wow, there is a variety of looks to the spider labeled as Cyriocosmus nicholausgordoni on Google! Many of them are indistinguishable from C leetzi.
Thank you for that awesome information! I had not heard of Cyriocosmus nicholausgordoni before.
Another Cyriocosmus for me to love!
 
Cyriocosmus is my other favorite genus. Looking for giganteus at the moment. ;-)
I need an MM giganteus for my girl. She'll molt this spring and will be ready, but finding an MM will be more or less impossible - I'll likely have to keep an eye out for slings and raise them up to get one...
