Help! Name confusion....Lampropelma nigerrimum / arboricola

[Leanne3488]

Hi!

So I just got 2 slings given to me they were labelled as follows:

1. ”lampropelma nigerrimum” - this I’m fairly happy with, common name Sanghie Island Black

2. ”lamproplema arboricola” - this is the one l’m confused about...am I right in thinking this is referring to common name “Borneo Black”? If so what is the correct scientific name for this species? I’ve seen it referred to as all of the following:

lampropelma arboricola
lampropelma nigerrimum arboricola
lampropelma sp. Borneo black
phormingochilus arboricola

I believe this sp has gone through several name changes so any lead on what the most up to date name is would be greatly appreciated!! (Google not much help as I’m getting all the above names)

Thanks SO much in advance!

Never heard of them being referred to as Lampropelma arboricola.

Anyway, Lampropelma nigerrimum arboricola/Lampropelma sp. "Borneo Black" is now Phormingochilus arboricola.
