A few interesting species to care for...

[Arachnobrian]

Looks like I will be babysitting some "T's" for a friend.

H. lividium, P. regalis, and a (L. violaceopes) sp.? or is it a Cyriopagopus "blue" (Singapore Blue)

Any clarification regarding the proper naming of the last species would be helpful for some research before it's arrival. I have experience with the first two, but the third is new to me.

The lastest edition of TKG still considers this as a Cyriopagopus "blue".

Anyone??

As far as I know, the "Singapore Blue" is now Lampropelma violaceopes. TC was selling the L. violaceopes as Singapore Blues and I would be inclined to follow them.

Then I'd have to say TKG is wrong on this one. The current scientific name is Lampropelma violaceopes.

How long ago was the name change?, because the latest edition of the TKG is pretty recent (2009).

If it's going to be housed in my collection for any time, labeling the enclosure accurately is important, as well as being able to research this "T" under the correct scientific name.
