Are these arboreal or terrestrial? Looks almost like some kind of baboon.. and the carapace reminds me of some Holothele. .. but this is different. Very neat find. Never heard of augies. :D
they're a terrestrial baboon. :D

yeah, i thought so. but it's still a really nice-looking spider that you don't see everywhere.

anyone know if there any difinitive ways to tell its species? i read that breyerii has orange setae on its legs' black areas, which mine seems to have.
doesnt look like breyerii, iv got the same t sent from ny from philth.
shes a looker tho! these are not as rare as they use to be either. junodi is rare and the breyerii.

Yup, from the same source/shipment. I agree that now there being imported they are not that rare anymore, but still hard to find.

Nice pick up Rob, hopefully one of us will get a eggsac so we have males to raise for the future. Here's a pic of mine...


An intersting thing too was that there were one or two Ceratogyrus darlingi mixed in with the shipment.


Later, Tom

Ha! That's crazy. Gigantic horn aside, they still don't even look that alike. I guess surprises can be fun tho, eh?

haha, you never know what can happen.

the first time i saw them for sale, when i couldn't actually get a look, i figured they were either Augacephalus or Ceratogyrus. lucky thing they were what they were since the genus was on my list.
