monocentropus longimanus

I guess the species was described purely from the male. How else do you get that name. Ha ha

Long (as in palps are long) manus (male) thats how I am reading into it anyway

Long Hand (manus)

Interesting. How were you able to identify this tarantula as Monocentropus longimanus when the females don't share any remarkable characteristics that the male does? This is one of those intriguing species where the sexual dimorphism is so extreme that I'm curious how one matches one sex to the other.

He IS long
