i here they can be very difficult to tell apart, and i don’t personally know the defining characteristics of either genus.
I got this boy because i suspected B. albiceps but it was sold with a common name only, “arizona brown” which i don’t. think actually refers to anything...
Did you just listen to the latest Tom’s Big spiders podcast? This was one of the subjects he discussed, so it would be a crazy coincidence if you hadn’t.
Anyway, looks like a B Albiceps to me. The bright orange on the carapace and the very dark body are the clues. From what I’ve seen, the Anax is more brown, with a darker caramel colored head.
I don’t own either, though, so take this with a grain of salt. I just googled both and compared.
