Identification

[Botar]

Does anyone know the scientific name of the Carribean Sandy Gray on the petcenterusa site? (www.petcenterusa.com)

Botar

Todd Gearheart has it listed as Citharacanthus l. niger, which is the only place that I've ever seen it referred to with a Latin name.

I also believe if you look through the .txt species list at e-spiderworld.com there is a different Latin name given for the spider that has this common name... though now I may not be remembering correctly. I had thought about getting one of these with my last order from petcenterusa and decided against it when I could get no Latin name from the dealer of the spider. I prefer that the Ts in my collection are better identified than just a common name...
