Thrixopelma sp. #3

A thrixopelma cyaneolum female without the red abdomen hairs. Not totally sure of species!!!
Not cyaneolum.....the one marcell posted is most likely Homeomma sp. blue.

Its possible its sp. black....ive never seen one as an adult ( mines not too big)

Marcell here (changed my name), I have multiple of Homoeomma sp blue (as well as blue Peru 1/2 as they're sold here) and Thrixopelma cyaneolum, it has definitely more in common with T cyaneolum than H sp blue, both visually and spermatheca wise. Looks pretty much like the T pictured above, way more fuzzy with whiteish hairs than any H sp blue or any of its variants I've seen.
She's in need of a molt at the moment so I'll be sure to take a picture of the spermatheca and post it :)

the biggest defining charachteristic of cyaneolum is those dark red hairs.

Cyaneolum are very commonly misidentified, especially in recent years since they have become more popular.
 
I also bought a Thrixopelma cyaneolum last year which lacks the red setae. She looks and acts exactly like my other girls except she has nothing red on her abdomen. Maybe this is some local variation or a different T altogether. Sadly the seller couldn't tell me where it was collected...
Whoa mamma

Yeah it's most likely some unknown Thrixopelma /Homoeomma spp. or something like that.
Gorgeous spider either way :)
