Definitelly not a Nhandu nor Tripepii maybe some african species Harpactira, Harpactirella, Or maybe even a Pachypus?
But really not a Nhandu Tripepii.
I see two things: 1st the worse it's not N.Tripepii
2nd you may have a T with a higher price than it.
PS: I am sure that someone will have better luck than me and will help you.
I've thought about it again and I agree, this looks like Harpactira sp. / Harpactirella sp. In that case you got a rather expensive and rare tarantula and I'm jealous .
I'd be very surprised if this isn't an OW. @KezyGLA where are you?
Definitely old world. I'd say be extra careful around this specimen, but you wouldn't exactly be cozying up to a tripepii, either, would you? I certainly treat mine like an old world species with urticating hairs! Because that's how she acts: fast, furious, furry!
Whatever it is, and I do lean toward harpactira myself based on its web & markings, it's absolutely beautiful. However, you should go back to the seller and say "be more careful about your IDs." I can think of cases that would be misleadingly dangerous, if it had been misidentified as a "friendly species."
Especially cause I am a complete beginner and even tough I have an adult female P Cambridgei, I never would have thought I have an old world for months and I even handled it in the beginning during rehousing. Definitely going to speak with the Petshop about it.
