from your picture you playtomma looks a lot like a X immanis to my eye, but as the picture before is also purple, is it just the camera that give that coloration ?

Umm, I'm curious are those color varieties of the species mentioned? I have all 3 species myself and none of them look anything like the picture you posted except for maybe the last one but the color is different in that one as well. Still, they are stunning spiders and if mine turn out like I'll be lucky man.

Male A.seemani often have a sheen of purple on them as for the P.sp "platyomma" if it were a Xenesthis.sp the scopulate on the rear leg would wrap around the the sides of the met, here it does not appear too.

Male A. seemani look very different from their female counterparts (the change happens at the maturing molt).

The same thing goes for the other species - Pamphobeteus spp. males tend to have the "purplish" hues and male P. irminia lose their black coloration at the maturing molt.

Here's a male A. seemani I had here on loan - you can see some of the purple ...
