Mystery Haplopelma

[Thegloryfades]

Was traded to me as a longipes although I've been told it's a vonwirthi any of you Haplopelma guys care to give me an I.D.? Thanks in advance

I agree just need an I.D. so I can find her a boyfriend

I think its indeed a H. vonwirthi but to be shure i need better and closer pictures of the metatarsus on leg 4...

Looks just like mine but I have the same problem I dunno which it is:?

 

[Thegloryfades]

Hope these will work

Ok, so i see longer hairs on the metatarsus so according to this thread on the tarantula store forum it should be longipes.... But i'm not an expert its just my opinion

how sure are you that it's a haplo ?
kinda looks like a cyriopagopus sp. sumatran tiger

not sure though

 

[opiomylo]

look like Thai Zebra to me or Haplopelma albostriatum.

 

[Thegloryfades]

Honestly just going off what I was told

Both are H. sp. vonwirthi/vietnam, on longipes the leg IV metatarsal scopula would go 2/3 of the way up and the brush of hair would be much more obvious. The vonwirthi/vietnam is a very common import at the moment, saw a bunch at a a show today for $10-15 each. A few years or so ago longipes were the more common one but I haven't see them as WC imports since. I think Syndicate just recently produced some CB slings.

5 Species HAPLOPELMA : (Haplopelma albostriatum, Haplopelma aureopilosum, Haplopelma lividum, Haplopelma minax and Haplopelma schmidti). if that a Haplopelma Species its an "HAPLOPELMA MINAX", The Species is so Aggresive and defensive.

The Hap species all look so similar. Excluding the fact that lividums are blue.

I personally think it is a longipes though.

This is what I'd go by.

There are more than 5 species of Haplopelma (longipes, vonwirthi, hainanum, and a bunch of sp. such&such's). Isn't H. aureopilosum now Ornithoctinus aureotibialis?

Yes. And it just so happens to be one of my favorite looking OWs. Too bad they are destined to lives of solitude.

Yeah, now that I have one, I realize how amazingly beautiful they are!

Its definitely not a minax...., minax is more robustly build than the spider shown on the picture.
And as said before Haplopelma aureopilosum is now O. aureotibialis, and then ther's Haplopelma robustum and according to Volker von wirth Ornithoctoninae sp. orange fringed is 100% Haplopelma doriae.
(although he is not quite sure if the species with the fringe at adulte age and the one that loses the fringe are the same species.)

! Really? O. sp. orange fringe is H. doriae? Or H. doriae is O. sp. orange fringe? Meaning, do you (he) expect the species to be in Ornithoctinus or Haplopelma?

Do you know this from personal correspondences? Or is this in print somewhere? I'd love to read more as this is a species I really really want!
