I know that this genus is a mess and it takes a lot of knowledge to differiencate them. I also have a smaller C. vonwirthi (CB) and they don't quite look alike. Although that might be because she's smaller. That's why I'm asking on this forum
Someone might be able to 100% confirm minax or vonwirthi
Also I bought her from a non-breeder that was quitting the hobby. That doesn't help
I sent him a message to know if he remembers if the T is WC or CB. Or at least the name of the breeder that sold it
If I bought it as C. minax, that is what I would label it as. It doesn't look considerably different enough from C. minax to make me think it's anything else. It's possible that it's C. vonwirthi, but they're so similar looking that you're not going to be able to differentiate them by looking at photos. Nice T, good find!

Based on my observations Cyriopagopus minax has more of a deep, greyish black, velvety coloration with not so prominent markings overall, whereas Cyriopagopus vonwirthi have more prominent markings and is a rich navy blue (freshly molted). Not sure about taxonomic differences, hence why I tagged Volker to confirm.
