Thanks for your help. This is for a video I am making so I really want to be sure. Someone on iNaturalist said it is a Pamphobeteus Crassifemur. Could this be correct?
There is a known, but not identified/ described sp. of Pamphobeteus found in Tambopata.
Martin Nicholas documented them some years ago, and wrote an article for the BTS Journal about it.
Here is a brief overview he did for the BBC: Adventures of the Spider Man
Ok, what is known / desribed from that site. None.
What is the nearest record of described, similar looking species?
There are P. crassifemur around 600 km in the east and P. antinous (none type material) around 200 km in the west.Then there is the report about the so called "Chickenspider" from the very near Tambopata Reserve. Which should be also a Pamphobeteus spec.
And finally i know specimens of a Pamphobeteus spec., which was collected 20 km from Lago Sandoval.
About these specimens I can say they are belongs for sure into Pamphobeteus but they differ from P. antinous as well as P. crassifemur and the "chickenspider" too (see link in the post above).
In the end the best / accuratest id from that picture is:
Theraphosidae cf. Theraphosinae cf. Pamphobeteus spec.
