Cobalt Red Rump Genus?

[HaraKiri]

This is a gorgeous T! But it says some have it as a Cyclosternum sp., others as a Chromatopelma. I am wondering, is it more of opinion or... ?

Well I don't know much about this species... but a quick search shows other species names as well..

Thrixopelma Cyaneum
Chromatopelma sp Cobalt Red Rump
Cyclosternum spp.

This is why common names suck! I know there has to be a scientific name for it; I've seen it before, but I can't recall it.

Ah, I got into searching for this thing awhile ago. All I was able to conclude, is that it is a somewhat smaller species, originally being labeled as a Cyclosternum sp., then later Chromatopelma sp. After that, who knows.

I found this old thread on it, but I can't really make heads or tails of what's being said.

From what little I did get, I guess it's a Thrixopelma cyaneolum

 

[ShadowBlade]

Nice find. That's what I needed to see.

No, it is not T. cyaneolum.

Its most probably a Homeomma sp.

Well Homeoemma is what I am gonig with. It's a gorgeous T, I need to find out more about it.

 

[GoTerps]

No, it is not T. cyaneolum.

Its most probably a Homeomma sp.

-Sean

Well, it is currently T. cyaneolum... this description may or may not be correct, but that is where it stands at the moment.

Yeah you're right. I just looked it up. T. cyaneolum Schmidt, Friebolin & Friebolin, 2005 Peru

So is T. Cyaneolum final?

So is T. Cyaneolum final?

For now it is.

i found one of these at a local pet shop a little over a year ago or so. the blue and red are stunning after a molt. mine is a fairly mellow T as well, and spends a good deal of time in the open to view. i'm pretty sure it's a female as well.
