I see! So it doesn't mean that B.Albiceps is a red rump, it would belong to Tliltocatl same as other red rumps former brachypelmasThe shapes of their spermathecae (females) and palpal bulbs (males) puts them in Brachypelma
Correct. I think the confusion lies in the tremendously overly simplistic presentation of the new designation as being merely coloration.I see! So it doesn't mean that B.Albiceps is a red rump, it would belong to Tliltocatl same as other red rumps former brachypelmas
then how about the sp tortuguero? is it still brachypelma or tlitocatl?Correct. I think the confusion lies in the tremendously overly simplistic presentation of the new designation as being merely coloration.
Technically neither because it's not a described species, the correct label for now would be Theraphosinae sp. "Tortuguero"then how about the sp tortuguero? is it still brachypelma or tlitocatl?
If one has specimens of this "Tortuguero" species, then an identification to the genus Brachypelma, Tlitocatl, or neither could be made since good characters for both genera have been published.Technically neither because it's not a described species, the correct label for now would be Theraphosinae sp. "Tortuguero"
Brachypelma albiceps possesses strongly scelortized spermathecal baseplates (absent or weakly developed in Tliltocatl) in females and males do not posses a prolateral inferior keel on the palpal bulb (present in Tliltocatl) as well as having a short embolus (longer in Tliltocatl). These characters are primarily why B. albiceps belongs in Brachypelma as opposed to Tliltocatl.Hi everyone!
Is there anyone here know the reason why the B.Albiceps stayed in Brachypelma and not transferred to Tliltocatl?
Thank you in advance for your answers.
