This is a picture of my mature female hysterocrates sp. I bought her two days ago from a store where they sell WC animals. She was sold as a H. gigas but I have my doubts because she's WC. I will be very grateful if you help me.
What makes me lean toward Hysterocrates Gigas, is the lack of thick back legs compared to the P. Muticus. H. Gigas also range a bit in colors sometimes darker but sometimes looking exactly like your T.
Can it be some other sp. Hysterocrates? I know that things in the hobby with Hysterocrates are really messed up and I don't want to make things worse by breeding two different species (but I really want to breed her).
The differentiation comes with the differences in genitalia between Hysterocrates species, its very hard to tell the difference between them because they all resemble the same limitations on colourations and somewhat stout hind legs. As far as I know the best way to tell the difference is by evaluating the difference in the genitalia of females of this genus. can you get some pics of the underside? of course this would then have to be compared with the underside of other confirmed sp. of this genus. It's not easy when it comes to the sp. for sure. But my bet is H. Gigas.
