That's an Aphonopelma seemanni common name "striped-knee tarantula", Latin names are always preferred as common names can be attributed to many species. Ex. Ephebopus murinus "The skeleton tarantula"
Maybe it is the picture... Are you sure it is an Aphonopelma seemanni? It does not appear to have orange spinnerets. Does it have orange on the back underside of its abdomen? Again, maybe it is the picture or maybe not all Aphonopelma seemanni have the orange? Not sure but I thought Aphonopelma seemanni always displayed the orange.
@MrCrackerpants Lol Im 100% positive. All A. seemmani have orange along their underside, I own two myself. Besides you can see the orange spinnerets sticking out
Ok. Ya, I have some Aphonopelma seemanni. I can't see the orange in the picture above. It must be my computer. The spinnerets appear white on my screen.
