Tarantula from Yucatán, Mexico

A friend brought me this male T he found at home. He doesn't look like the species I know from here (B. vagans, B. epicureanum, C. lamanai). Does anybody know what species is he?
It's an adult male, most plausibly an undescribed 'Citharacanthus' from the region, depending how far north on Yucatan you were. [I put the genus in brackets as is poorly defined' needing revision']. Where is home please?, and please let you friend know he/she shouldn't be collecting without wildlife permits ...
 
This one is from Mérida. Tarantulas are very common here, my friend found this one in his parents' kitchen. They wanted to kill it and he catch it to take it outside, but as he had never seen one like this before, he took it to my place so I can see it, hahaha. I released that little guy a couple of days after. :)
