There isn't one really... it's an undescribed Chilobrachys sp. that's been sold as "Asian smokey". I guess it could simply be an unidentified one though. This genus is in great need of revision apparently.

There's certainly no guarantee that all of them that were sold as "Asian smokey" are even the same species though. Some pictures I've seen around of these guys look very similar to some of the pictures I've seen of the Chilobrachys sp. "Burma" ("burmensis")... pure speculation on my part though!

Jake H. posted some nice shots of a female of what's been sold as "Asian smokey" awhile back... Click Here .

Do you have some more pictures of yours Johnny?
