This looks more like a Holothele species.

This looks more like a Holothele species.

Nah, Im sure its a Aphonopelma sp. Here's a pic of it before he matured.

The reason for my :? is becuase of the striking resemblance to the spider sold as A. crinirufum in the U.S.

A. crinirufum

A. crinirufum ultamite male

I suspect these might be the same spiders(in the hobby) based just on color I've seen both of them sold as "blue fang/front" , but from what I remember being told the orignal describtion of A. burica makes no mention of blue. (havent seen the description myself though)

[M.F.Bagaturov]

Sure. Here it is.

This is Brachypelma sp and not any of the species of Aphonopelma at all definately.
As I've said before most possibly You have B. verdezi there, but spermathecae and other characters examine needed for full confirmation.

Hi Tom!

A. burica:?

Later, Tom

Typical adult male A. seemanni from this pic.
But from the picture of this tarantula before maturity molt I would say A. crinirufum.
What makes You doubt the first id, Tom?

For a tarantula lover...there are hardly any more incredible feelings than seeing those moderatum legs come to edge of a burrow!

Aphonopelma moderatum

Chris, I love the pics of the legs at the burrow entrance. I want to get a tattoo of a burrow on the top of my foot, with just the legs of a moderatum sticking out. Its definitely one of the coolest things ever, and never gets old.
