The tarantula called Cyriopagopus paganus was misidentified. In fact it' s an Haplopelma from Vietnam (Haplopelma sp. Vietnam). The true species C. paganus has still not been rediscovered. Yours looks really like an Haplopelma sp. longipedum pre-molt to me. Very beautiful and impressiv tarantula anyway.:clap:

Yes, the Cyriopagopus paganus is proberbly not in the hobby.. nobody can tell because the holotype might be lost. But there are many asian tarantulas that go under the name C. paganus in the pet trade, not only Haplopelma sp. Vietnam (also known as Haplopelma minax "vietnam", Haplopelma vonwirthi) but also Haplopelma longipes (also known as Haplopelma sp. "longipedum" because this was its name untill late 2005 when it was described and given the name Haplopelma longipes)

Ben>> Could you point out why this looks like a H. longipes (H. sp. "longipedum") to you?

Indeed....here is a Haplopelma longipes:

Regardless of the species that's a great lookin spider!

Yeah Leon I know what they look like, and I also know that they have fluffy metatarsus on the dorsal side.. Like the one on your picture. But the picture above dosnt have this (as far as I can see) and therefor I wonderd what I must have misst that would destinct this as a H. longipes

Also Leon, I know that the specimen in you picture is ID:d as H. longipes, but that is the only one I have seen with that coloration on the carapace. I know that coloration is useless in ID:ing but do you know the location where it's from? is this coloration only in post molt?

 

[common spider]

Ya mine don't look like that at all?????So what is it then?????

One thing for shure she is very hot headed!!!!!!



:wall:

Hi
Yes, looking at Leg IV will tell you if you have a longipes or not. I cannot see this trait in commonspider's specimen either.

I have only had a chance to examine longipes in bulk as wild caught adults - they were all brown and battered like the pictures on my website. This one moulted out into one with fantastic colours. I'm picking up another adult at the weekend that is from the very same shipment (came into the UK 2 years ago!) so will get some pictures for comparison. These pics were taken when I rehoused her yesterday, she moulted over 6 months ago.

The seller told me they were imported from "Asia" - he could not be more specific than that, but he also had a lot of lividum and albostriatum in the same crate.

Ok intresting..
I would like to see those pictures when you have them please

 

[common spider]

Ok I am very confused then so what do you guys that I have????

Dont know, You cant ID a tarantula from a picture Proberby some kind of Haplopelma or Ornithoctonus spec.
If you have plans to breed it sometime or really want to know what it is you could send the molt to someone who can check it for you.. (ex Volker or Sören, maby M. Jacobi.. I'm not shore if he does this)

You have to have a terrarium with alot of deep substrate anyway so it can dig..

 

[Lorgakor]

Can you post any other pictures? Maybe a dorsal view without the threat posture? It certainly looks like it has longer front legs than your typical H. longipes, but it is too hard to tell much from those pictures.

 

[Michael Jacobi]

Ya mine don't look like that at all?????So what is it then?????

In short, from a photo nobody can positively ID the species/form, but it is likely a member of the genus Haplopelma. As mentioned, the name "Cyriopagopus paganus" has been incorrectly applied to a few different pet trade tarantulas of the genus Haplopelma. It is not a Cyriopagopus.

@ Leon - that is a nice spider indeed!

Cheers, Michael

 

[common spider]

Ya the more I think about it know I feel 100% that it is some kind of Haplopelma T.But I just wish I knew which one it is for shure???I guess I will just lable the cage Haplopelma Sp.


Thank you for all the info everyone.

Michael J.>> Do you ID tarantulas from molts? and if not, who in the us does?
