>>Well at least now we're getting the place of origin.Mine was listed as Paraguay gold..his Paraguana gold...I think maybe they had mine wrong..should have been Paraguana.Now to find T's that come from Paraguana.The search narrows.Maybe you might be able to find out what other T's come from that area Ines.Thanks Ines...peace..

Paraguay Gold

There are several difficulties here with trying to ID this specimen;

1) there is no exact locality data, and

2) a 'generic-looking' theraphosinae such as this cannot be ID'd
without a mature specimen in hand to examine.

Sorry I can't help ... guess on, folks

I have a pic someone sent me of an adult female T. undescribed from Brazil, I can't remember the region offhand, I'll possibly start a new thread and put the pic up. Looks kinda like a white Paraphysa specie.

>>Thanks for taking the time to have a look see Rick...no guesses at all to maybe the species..acanthoscurria maybe??...anything at all to go on?.Paraguay or Paraguana isn't an exact enough locale?....thanks...peace..

Paraguay Gold

No. No idea and I don't guess with such a lack of data to go by. Paraguana Peneinusla is in N. Venezuela and Paraguay is thousands of miles to the south, near Argentina ... like comparing apples and elephants. Grammostola, Acanthoscurria and most other theraphosinae have to be microscopically examined to check their plumous setal arrangement between the opposing coxa, trochanter and/or femurs of the palp and/or leg I & II. The theraphosid spider in this image is still a 'mystery theraphosid'.

To an earlier post question, send any images you want me to see and comment on to rickcwest@shaw.ca as I rarely have time for the chat boards ...

I didn't realize it was quite that intricate.I was just hoping for maybe some sort of lead to help in ID'ing.Thanks for taking the time to have a look anyways....peace...

What about a molt Rick..could you identify from that?.If you could I could save and ship it's next molt to you...just a thought....peace..

 

[Rick_C_West]

Paraguay Gold?

If it molts, you can mail the shed exuvia to the address on my website, www.birdspiders.com, and I would have a better idea what it is.

Will do..Thanks Rick...mystery T may be solved yet..lol...it is a nice T..small...very docile..very colorful..blues blacks reds golds..the pics don't do it justice.Damn petstores with their lack of knowledge and expertise and the use of common names...peace..
