This Cerbalus Sp. seems to be Leucorchestris arenicola native to Africa.

I did a bit of digging on this species.

While the pics are a bit blurry I polished them up in Photoshop. It appears this is not native to the Egyptian Desert, but to the Namib desert.

This is identical to Leucorchestris arenicola, a burrow constructing spider of the Namib Desert.

Take a look at this link. http://www.bio.tu-darmstadt.de/zoology/Scheu/People/Birkhofer/Birkhofer.htm

Gen. Leucorchestris Lawrence, 1962

L. Lawrence, 1962: 203, type L. arenicola Lawrence, 1962.

f arenicola Lawrence, 1962 *....................Namibia

It seems as this species, which is very new to the hobby is native to The Namib Desert, a desert in Namibia, Africa and commonly called White Lady.

The only information available attempting to label this Cerablus native to Egypt is a forum located at http://www.wirbellose-im-terrarium-forum.de/t545f27-Cerbalus-spec-ex-aegypten.html


Here are a few more links on Leucorchestris arenicola.
