I'm very happy with this little fellow, and with what I paid for him, I just don't agree on what it is. This was sold to me as C. leetzi but I'm pretty sure it's C. perezmilesi.
I was hoping to have this verified or debunked by someone with more experience with Cyriocosmus than I.
Also, has anyone ever had or seen available Cyriocosmus stellatus?
C. leetzi and C. stellatus are currently at the top of my "must have someday" list.
Anyways, I would appreciate hearing your informed comments on the matter. Thanx,

That's C. perezmilesi.

Yes, I have a number of them.

Also, it's C. sellatus... you have an extra "t" in there.

PS. AFAIK these are the species we have in the U.S. hobby:

Cyriocosmus perezmilesi
Cyriocosmus leetzi (from Columbia) (actually not sure if any of the old ones are still around, but more are being imported soon)
Cyriocosmus sp. "leetzi" (Venezuela)
Cyriocosmus sp. "Venezuela"
Cyriocosmus sellatus
Cyriocosmus bertae
Cyricosmus elegans (Trinidad) (I have some here)
Cyriocosmus elegans (Tobago) (where all our U.S. hobby stock comes from)

Hi Eric...
Man, looking at that list, I HAVE been gone along time. It seems like yesterday just getting ONE cyrio in the hobby would have been news..!

Tony! It's good to see you around man!

Yeah I remember being so excited when I finally was able to acquire a C. elegans :). Still one of my very favorite spiders.
