Unfortunately, I can only say that the Carapace of a klugi is darker than that of the other Lasiodoras. The femur is also more black than gray. This can only be seen very well in freshly moulted animals. There are also many hybrids in the hobby. Maybe someone else has a better eye for it. If you want to be absolutely sure you have to wait for the moult and examine the spermatheke.

Both picture is the same species, you can notice on the first picture that the abdomen is darker than the carapace and legs. My question is if it is true that the color varies every molt? Because that's what the seller said to me when i asked why it is not darker or as dark as my LP. I also noticed that the pattern on the legs is more noticeable than my LP, i have red somewhere that the patterns on klugi is nicer than parahybana but i am only doubting because it is not as dark as my LP. Her last molt is almost a year ago, jan 16, 2020.
Sorry for my bad english.

It can be a klugi, but it doesn't have to be. You will not get a 100% statement based on the picture... Is the the spider from a petseller or the breeder, I would rather believe the breeder...

From a petseller, he said that he got it when it was only 3inch, and he sent me a photo(see attached photo) and he said that he took it after it molted and it actually looks pretty dark but im not sure if it's the same tarantula, i mean it could be a picture of another klugi but he only have 1 klugi and 1 parahybana, he quit the hobby that's why he is selling it.
And it also certainly looks very different than my LP. This klugi could be difficilis or striatipes but i don't have both of these to compare it side by side with my klugi. The differences is very noticeable even with a video. Im just having a doubt because it is not as dark as my LP.
