Very nice!Martin H. said:Hi,
and a big adult female (different source as all the ones above):
all the best,
Martin
I never said it was L.violaceopes myself, I don't have sufficient knowledge on the subject but yes, it's the same spider that everyone tries to pigeonhole every now and then, be it into Lampropelma or Haplopelma. (NB the filenames on mine read Lampropelma violaceopes for convenience but the description on my site reads Undescribed Theraphosid from Malaysia/SingaporeSteve Nunn said:Hi Martin and Leon,
These are the ones you all thought were Lampropelma violaceopes as well, am I thinking of the same species??
Are they arboreal or fossorial???
In your opinions, are the tarsal scopula wider like in Cyriopagopus or thinner as in Haplopelma??
Thanks
Steve
Oh, I wouldn't call it clarification. I change my mind about this bloody species every time I see it.Steve Nunn said:Thanks for the clarification on the scopula

Yes, from the very little I know of this species it possesses some (but not all)character states similar to Cyriopagopus so it wouldn't surprise me that you said that.Lopez said:I think "Mystery burrower that looks like it could live up a tree if it wanted to" is a far better way to label it
If you remmember, few years ago I offered this species under Haplopelma robustum for selling over internet. These animals came from people in Czech republic, who found and brought them from expedition in Malaysia. After it there weren`t a lot of these available, but they start to show now again...Martin H. said:Hi Peter,
BTW, they might be from the same breeder as yours – I got them as small spiderlings via Sonja in the end of 2002 labelled as Haplopelma robustum (would have to take a look in my notes, who has sold them).
Cheers,
Martin
If your female comes from Stefano, it`s definitelly from meMartin H. said:Hi Peter,
now as you remind me, the big female on the photo above could be come from you. I got it from Stefano, who, if I remember right, bought some spiderlings from you. But he might have had also some other sources.
Cheers,
Martin
BTW, it's not my female, not this one! =;-)spiderPeter said:If your female comes from Stefano, it`s definitelly from me

Annoyingly, I don't have a single specimen myself. The ones pictured on vermiculite (there were 3 specimens) could have been mine but the person who had first refusal didn't refuse.
