Major Sackage.......Klugi

[Anastasia]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the L. klugi is much heavier set in the body compared to the L. difficilis and L. striatipes.

That is correct, they are heavier spiders

 

[pato_chacoana]

My L. striatipes is very heavy, but could well be that L. klugi are even heavier and a little larger. That's the thing about pics, they are confusing...anything can be anything with Lasiodoras. So maybe Moose's spider is a L. klugi after all haha I just found her more similar to L. striatipes, by looking at the photos. But not close to a parahybana. That is just a guess from the pics.

Best regards,
Pato.

does this clear anything up?

No not really. That looks like a wide gap between the Spermathecae. Heck I don't know. If you got them from somewhere legit then I bet they are what you say they are.

 

[pato_chacoana]

Moose, take a look at this and the L. klugi spermathecae's of your link, tell me which one is closer to yours: (this pic was taken by myself)
To my surprise, your spermathecae is looking very similar to my L. parahyaba. I guess the photos light's changes real colors....

Maybe you have a L. difficilis, but I don't have a pic.....

Looks a lot closer to a L parahybana.

Perhaps clearer pictures will clarify the mistery.

i don't have the molt any longer.
i throw my molts out.
i have a few pics if anyone has good photo editing software and wants to try to touch them up. pm me for the pics.


@ pato hers looks CLOSER to the 1 on the left then the 1 on the right.

(excuse my very basaic language here but its the best way for me to explain this): the little mickey mouse ears on my girls come out of 1 main trunk then split into 2 little ears.
the para on the other hand seems to have 2 seperate ears.

am i correct in this?

[pato_chacoana]

Maybe the pic is confusing me, but I see yours a bit different from the L. striatipes. Yours has more ''long and separate'' ears from what I can see on the pic. It's almost like if it is a mix from the two in my photo.

About the pic from that Site, I don't know really if it is correct. If it is, then yours is very different from it. Maybe another source for a L. klugi could appear?

[pato_chacoana]

beautiful mom! how are the slings doing?

 

[dannax]

Oooh, I would definitely take 5-10 of these when they're ready to rock 'n roll!

Until then, good luck with all of them! It's going to be interesting!

beautiful mom! how are the slings doing?

should be getting ready to molt to 1st instars soon. they are starting to darken a little.




moose


p.s. what does she look like in those pics?

 

[pato_chacoana]

Good to hear everything's going well.

Well, taking in consideration spermathecae and tarantula pics, I think it's not L. parahybana and not L. striatipes... To me it's either Lasiodora difficilis or Lasiodora klugi ideed. If I have to choose one, I'd say L. difficilis.
Would help a lot if people with L. difficilis and L. klugi adults post pics. (spermathecae pics as well would be great)
Keep us updated!

Moose,

How long from when the eggsack was laid did you pull the sack? Just curious.
Good luck with all those babies. We'll be shopping for some new slings, whatever they are, the "parents" look awesome.

Thanks for sharing,

Hi Pato,

Well, taking in consideration spermathecae and tarantula pics, I think it's not L. parahybana and not L. striatipes.

According to Bertani, L. stratipes will be declared nomina dubia as the type is lost and the description not sufficient to make an id from.

Hi Eric,

I thought Bertani wasn't working with taxonomy anymore, at least he is not in the Butantan anymore.
Well it keeps getting better with Lasiodora taxonomy I see! The type is lost? and no paratypes? I hope they collect a correct neotype... Weird things always going on with theraphosidae taxonomy.
Several genera needs serious revision.

best regards,

Pato.

L difficilis

Here are some pix of a 5.5" female L difficilis as well as spermathacae from the same spider, if that helps any, PEACE, B.

Hi Pato,

He is still very active!

DOWNLOAD THIS and look at page 65 for the abstract of the Lasiodora revision. While not published yet, he reduces the number of species in the genus from 38 to 6.

Do a search for his last name within that document and you'll see how active he is!

Thanks for the information! I wonder what species the L. striatipes and L. fracta currently in our hobby are going to become? Especially since I have two of each.
