described as Haplopelma chrysotrix
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 picture :) Unless I'm really missing something.

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?

hi Eric,:)

no, no... I saw the described specimens ALIVE..., talk with Mr. Samm, who saw my living specimens, and he told me "this look like H.chrysothrix...." nothing more...:)
