Guess That Spider

[Venom1080]

A aurantiaca?
haha @louise f you think im that far off?

 

[CEC]

was Tapinauchenius the right genus?

Not a Tapi.

Avicularia sp Ecuador ?

Still not purple enough.

Tapinauchenius subcaeruleus

No, I wish. Got to be my favorite Tapi. Wish I had Doc's DeLorean to travel back to 2011 when every dealer and thier Mom were offering them. They rarely pop up for sale in the US nowadays.

T. cupreus

Read my first statement.

A aurantiaca?
haha @louise f you think im that far off?

Haha No... but they are native to the same country. So not completely off.

A. sp. Peru purple

A aurantiaca?
haha @louise f you think im that far off?

Hehe, nope but i have the aurantiaca and it sure does not look like it

 

[Venom1080]

Hehe, nope but i have the aurantiaca and it sure does not look like it

well, according to google images it does... lol

 

[CEC]

A. sp. Peru purple

Negatory.

Hehe, nope but i have the aurantiaca and it sure does not look like it

Sure doesn't but closer than some previous guesses.

well, according to google images it does... lol

Hmm, I have no idea why the #1 go-to source for Theraphosidae identification didn't work out for ya. Really weird cuz I have been IDing unknown Avic and Pampho MMs for breeding purposes for years using google images, always dead on.

Does it have adult colors?

 

[Moonohol]

I'm pretty sure there are only two more species in the subfamily Aviculariinae that come from Peru, so we've got to be close by now... lol

 

[CEC]

Does it have adult colors?

She is mature, but this species when using flash goes through some major color changes through out their molt cycle. Without flash they look pretty much the same.

More than two left in the hobby that are described, not to mention, the species not described.

 

[louise f]

avicularia. amazonas purple

 

[CEC]

avicularia. amazonas purple

Nope, same as sp. Peru Purple. In America at least, we have dropped the "Amazonas" to not be confused with sp. Amazonica. They also are sometimes labeled urticans in the hobby. It's none of those three labels.

Thanks for that info. Was not aware of that. Next time I'm having trouble with avic confusion I'm contacting you

A braunshauseni

Nope

Avicularia huriana

Nope

*I'll give a hint, it's not labeled as a described species in the hobby.

 

[sdsnybny]

Avicularia azuraklaasi

 

[CEC]

Avicularia azuraklaasi

No sorry, that is a described species.

 

[Venom1080]

Yes.

Here is another pic of her before her last molt. You can see what I mean about the color differences. Taken with the same Iphone and camera settings.

With a simple investigation anyone can ID this spider. I have posted and labeled this picture on AB before.
