which is a great read, do you what paper concerns our Charinus sp?

 

[Banshee05]

"do you what..."
know/have/read? what do you mean.
All whips from Australia are just distributed in the northern parts, or in Islands... nowhere elese ever documented.
But it would not wonder if you will some endimic species in caves with river systems, which doesn't dry out to often...

Thanks for the great pics! I was just trying to identify mine and think I have now.

Thanks for the great pics! I was just trying to identify mine and think I have now.

You mean that you have found a picture of one of Michaels' whip spiders that is comparable to your specimen....You have not identified it, trust me All I can say about your picture in your thread is that your whip spider looks like a Damon species.

cheers, Michiel

new one...
Phrynus asperatipes Baja California-Mexico

 

[zonbonzovi]

Peculiar coloration on this one. Is it an adult?

 

[Banshee05]

Hi,
no just a juvenile, but the colouration will stay stable.

 

[Michiel]

Nice species, Michael!

These are my favorite arachnids.

 

[Necromion]

Really wish I could find a Acanthophrynus coronatus here in the states. Do you have any more pictures of yours as I really would like to see the full size of one of these.

Philippines special part I
Charon cf.grayi Panay

Charon cf.grayi Sohoten cave-Samar

Charon cf.grayi Santol cave-Luzon

Charon cf.grayi Puning cave-Bulacan

Juveniles I think? I'm wondering if the Samar cave specimen does have troglobitic adaptations, ea. lighter pigmentation, longer legs yet of the same breeding population as of that forest specimen.

 

[Banshee05]

No, they are adult-they can reproduce in this size!
adaptions: hmm maybe, but I do not think so... till now I have no dead specimen to check it...
