Interesting that they don't have long hairs on their abdomens. Beautiful specimen in that picture.

Daww, it's cute! I can't wait until these get circulated in the hobby.

Sooooooo this is not a tarantula of some sort??: Looks more like a tarantula than regular spider. I wonder how soon these will be in the trade and at what cost?

I have 2 female P. antinous, and mine have red satae on the abdomen, but they're not quite full grown yet. Do they lose it after reaching full maturity?

Not quite Pamphobeteus antinous according to Martin Nicholas.

A Pamphobeteus of some sort I'll do my best at figuring out what she is back home... There where also lots of Avics couple different species and Cyriocosmus sp. as well as Linothele sp.. Amazing really.

 

[Hatr3d]

Do you have pics of the Linothele sp.? Would be great

 

[NevularScorpion]

Is it possible to import those Ts here right now ?

 

[MrMatt]

Linothele

Here are some pictures of a Linothele sp. I didn't take many pictures of them but did manage to find them in decent numbers. The largest tipping 7cm leg span. Permits are possible but a pain. It was difficult to obtain ours but more hoops then anything. They where general collecting permits for museum specimens. However our export permits are still about a week out.

Very awesome Pampho sp. "Chick-Fil-A". It looks from this angle like it doesn't even have urticative hairs. Is that possible? I see no patch...

I don't think anybody knows yet exactly what species this is, do they? May or not be P. antinous. I'm of the opinion that it is a unique species but hey, whadda' I know?

 

[MrMatt]

I can attest to the fact it did have urticating hair but ya there was no obviously visible patch.

They really weren't that uncommon in the area of the Tambopata I was staying. That wasn't even the largest, but close. Beautiful animals.

MrMatt do you work in a museum ? Is that mean you can bring them here ? Also, the chicken spider that you have. did you found them inside the reservation park is that the only place where they are or they can be found every where in the place that you are staying ?

I work for the Museum of Southwestern Biology arthropod division. We stayed and collected out of the Tambopata National Reserve for a field Ento course/increase the museums specimens, so we had permits. Once you had a feel for the burrow they were easy to spot either on trails or by 'bush wacking' it.
