I Have a Brachypelma/ Aphonopelma ?

[ChrisNCT]

I have a question pertaining to the Brachy's and Aphonopelma's and directly speaking of the A. bicoloratum (Mexican Bloodleg).

I have seen some website out there stating that it's a Brachypelma bilcoloratum. Then I see some like Swifty's saying that it's a Aphonopelma bilcoloratum.

Which is the true classification for this T? Brachypelma or Aphopnoplema?

If it's a Aphonopelma, then why the name Mexican Bloodleg?

i have learnt recently that alphonopelma's are different in the shape of the carapace as alphonopelmas have a more oval carapace...correct me if im wrong..

Um, it might be because they come from Mexico and have red legs?
