The name "Haplopelma chrysothrix" (you spelled it wrong) was declared nomen nudum. That spider was then described properly as Ornithoctonus aureotibialis ... which the spider you depict here is clearly not. So, I would suggest that the name you provide here has nothing to do with the spider in your picturedescribed as Haplopelma chrysotrix

hi Eric,So, your saying you've examined the specimens that Schmidt & Samm (2005) described as "Haplopelma chrysothrix" (they failed to deposit a type specimen AFAIK).
And that what they "described" as such is not what we now call Ornithoctonus aureotibialis?
