Pamphobeteus sp confusion

[TheraMygale]

I read such statements the last 25 years, but can't see a change.

I believe you. With the increase in “sp”s, with colors and patterns, it makes something “new and exciting”.

Perhaps we won’t make a change. Some of us still prefer to buy fully recognized established species.

Some of us still prefer to buy fully recognized established species.

But is this a guarntee? I´m afraid no.

For exampe we have something like "P. fortis" in the hobby for a long time and most people take this for sure.
If i take the newer puplications on this species, i stumble imedially over a difference in the shape of the spremathecae to our hobby-fortis, Surprise!

Probably not a guarantee.

i buy a b emilia. Because im pretty sure its a b emilia. Its looks like one and acts like one, and comes from a breeding facility in mexico.

thats as far the closest i can get to a guarantee.

Did you ever do the comparison of the WC specimen that you've had under your media item labeled in :

06-Pamphobeteus sp FO06-2008-RH202206.jpg

Pamphobeteus sp ♂ WC 2008 (collected about 50 km from the city of Machala, same bulb structure as sp MACHALA)

I am very curious if the specimen was indeed compared to any of the currently known Pamphobeteus and if it was preserved for further investigation or description of a newer species.

Best regards,

Don

Like the comment under the pic suggest, yes.

Yes, it was compared and of course it is preserved.
