nice find.looking forward to seeing more images.without spoiling your article can you say anything about these being an actual species or just a color/regional variant of Psalmopoeus reduncas?

i don't think i'm the person to discuss that. i know next to noting about any Psalmopoeus species. all i know is that we were looking for spiders. found a burrow, i tickeled the spider out, had it on my hand and looking at the spider that was in full thread display (front legs in the air and fangs wide spread) i said:"this is not Brachypelma, this is Psalmopoeus maya!"

Hello Syndicate,

... or just a color/regional variant of Psalmopoeus reduncas?
BTW, the spelling is P. reduncus – just in case you are trying to find more infos about that species and wondering, why you only get few matches with search engines.

all the best,
Martin
