However, nice pix!

I definitely agree; O. aureotibialis is often mislabeled as H. minax.
I have both species.

 

[Nich]

I did not ask for a sp. id, your both wrong. no hard feelings but xenesthis's word is the closet to final as possible.

 

[Skuromis]

Yes darling, whatever you say. :worship: It was just a hint. For my part you can label it as whatever you want.

 

[Nich]

It was id'd by Gearheart.







explain to me taxanomically what your claiming.....but ill prob have to wait for you google it.

 

[RVS]

There's no reason for you to be so defensive, no one was attacking you.

 

[Nich]

"my darling" yes thats an attack. No anger, just would like the knitty gritty of why its not an H. minax. Coloration is not a soul indicator, especially in a large-juv.

 

[Skuromis]

You can get a life, i dont post for rouse here.

Sorry it was not meant like this.

explain to me taxanomically what your claiming.....but ill prob have to wait for you google it.

The orange or golden or whatever hairs at the tibia are typical for O. aureotibialis, thats why it is called as it is called ;O)
But to identify it for sure as whatever it is, you need a real expert like V. v. Wirth.

It is a beautiful spider, be it minax or aureotibialis. Maybe it just needs some time to darken up is all. But even the pro's make mistakes. I hope you get tons of slings from it eventually in either case.

 

[Nich]

heres a pic of the bathroom it was taken in.....

I believe it greatly would exaggerate and orange present....

 

[RVS]

I PMed you.

 

[Brando]

[FryLock]

Asian taxonomy

I'm open minded to the changes in Asian theraphosid taxonomy. I've seen stuff not only change within species, but even genus. Until we have a universal / international method of dissemination of taxonomy changes that theraphosid taxonomists can all agree on and there be some kind of central authority to publish the info and make it known to hobbyists and breeders, not just scientists, this problem with names and IDs will only get worse.

AHHHH!!! nice looking girl ya got there,yeah she's a looker;P mine is exactly like her in everyway,i have 2 juvie minax,and when they mature i guess we will see if there is a difference(cause ya never know) between the 2 types.good luck with her! :worship:

 

[Scorpendra]

whatever it is, that's one feisty asian you got there ;P.

 

[MRL]

hey Nick.... I have read here and heard from others that some dealers are known to ID things based on what they buy them as whether they believe it to be or not, unless of course they can make more based on the correct ID... Todd likely did not send his to a taxonomist just the same as you ask these people to and his word is hardly the closest to being final.. H minax, as I understand it, is very commonly mis-ided.... People have reason to doubt and telling them you purchased it from Todd does not help your argument one bit so there really isn't any need to be defensive or have an attitude with the people offering what should be helpful comments in your thread.... with that said you have a very pretty spider so I wouldn't be all that worried if it was or wasn't based on a few comments and pics
