Guess that spider Pt. 2

[Edan bandoot]

T’was a joke…

Thought it was an albo... Now I'm confused. Which is it!

 

[quirinus]

Alrighty then, how about this.

P. sp. machala juvie?

 

[RezonantVoid]

A tricky one that might need some researching. This is a somewhat commonly available species in Australia, located close to Mount Martin national Park and is synonymous with Phlogius crassipes "Hampden". Species name starts with "K"

Those are all the hints I will give for now

Ok, I went to WSC and literally searched for all Australian species, none of them started with a K.

Also, the only family that has a couple of species starting with a K and, are synonymous with Phlogius, is Selenocosmia. However, both of these species aren't from Australia.

Now you got me thinking here, lol. Is this a described species, indeed?

My first guess will be Selenocosmia crassipes, since it's a synonym of P. crassipes and fonetically, it starts with a K, sorta.

(Btw, I like these tricky ones )

Nice research! No, this one is not officially in WSC yet but will be included in the much anticipated upcoming Phlogius revision soon. You can find slings available on many sites here such as jjslittlestings. The biggest clue is the locality, or a place located very close to it

P. sp. machala juvie?

This one was correct!

 

[Edan bandoot]

Phlogius kuttabul, but I think @quirinus should get my turn, since he got the last one right.

Correct!

I am a little confused why @RezonantVoid even posted a photo. Check out the first page of the thread for rules to the game, you gotta get the correct ID to post a photo of your own. People were still guessing on the prior photo when you posted. @quirinus should go next.

Merely the result of my tired eyes skim reading the first few messages of the thread at 6:00am on the way to work. My apologies

 

[quirinus]

I lack pics that aren't super easy to recognize for you guys... But I enjoy guessing.

OK so who dat gal ?

 

[dragonfire1577]

P sp. mascara?

 

[Lobstersign]

Pamphobeteus sp. Duran?

 

[quirinus]

The genus is correct

 

[spideyspinneret78]

Pamphobeteus petersi?

 

[Arachnid Addicted]

P. cf. insignis

 

[quirinus]

No
It is a machala like the last one

 

[Thearachnidaddict]

Oh sorry did not know it had to be theriphosidae

Try and guess this one

Take a look at this link:

Guess that spider Pt. 2

A grand continuation of the once infamous megathread. The rules are simple. Someone will post a photo of a mygalomorph from their collection, everyone then needs to guess which species it is. Whoever first identifies the spider correctly is then nominated to post a photo of one of their spiders...

Well, this thread sadly died because no one guessed @quirinus 's pic correctly. But this is a really fun thread and I thought I'd revive it.
Soo...I'll go. The pic is not mine but I have the pic owner's permission.
