It definitely looks like Euathlus sp. The hair patterns on the abdomen are a clue. Is the body/legs black or is there some color? Did you find it at a pet store? If so, I am extremely jealous... they are some of my absolute favorites.

Very cool looking little T 
Thanks guys.
Ham, I got this little lady from a member here on the boards. Mr. John Apple.
We have a monthly show here in Mi., and he always has a booth set up with a great selection of awesome inverts, at outstanding prices. It was a toss up between her and a MF C. elegans. I have been wanting a C. elegans but the pattern of the hairs had me sold.
If you read this apple, I shall take the elegans next month if you still have it by then.
Anywho, thanks for the compliments and confirmation.

I think you made the right choice... but I am biased towards Euathlus. I am not positive on the ID of course. However, The Euathlus genus is a toss up at times too. Eric (Go Terps) might have a better idea. The Paraphysa genus can have similar markings I think.

It is definately Euathlus, just compare it to my new girl;She's about 2 inches.
I think it was labeled Dwarf chilean tiger.
She is such a cool looking little T.
So fuzzy looking.
I figured one of you guys/gals would know what she is.
Thanks for looking/Enjoy the pics.

I bought it at Hamm messe in germany from an italian seller who more or less only sells Euathlus T´s. It was labeled at precisely what i wrote, he had a male too of the same species.
That is what i know.
