"Pamphobeteus sp. "Ecuador II" (aka P. sp. platyomma, which is not a proper usage)"

What? Please explain what you mean by AKA platyomma.. What I know thats two totally different species

 

[Philth]

Pamphobeteus sp. "Ecuador II" (aka P. sp. platyomma, which is not a proper usage).

I don't understand that as well. The spider sold as P. sp. platyomma is from Brazil, and is different from Pamphobeteus sp. "Ecuador II".

Pamphobeteus ultramarinus ultimate male.

Nice photo Tom! Do you have an adult female to pair with that male?

I've got one female that I'm waiting on to molt, and will borrow another female from a local friend.

Totally forgot to check back in here. Well I meant to say sp. S. Ecuador not Ecuador II (oops), at least from what I'm getting from some information gathering. Pictures appear identical, and it would seem the people who actually label them call them S. Ecuador, while platyomma is a farce name placed on it by the hobby out of confusion with Vitalius platyomma, which is now Vitalius wacketi (How they got confused in the first place is bewildering to me). But I just got such a headache from trying to get to the bottom of it for certain, especially over a description, not even over a real species name, that I've kinda bailed on it. I'm cool with platyomma, as long as I'm breeding the right thing when I send mine out. That's my primary concern.

[koldaar]

Pamphobeteus spec "platyomma"

7" male. Molted last week. I'm torn- on one hand it's a male and the colors are striking, but on the other hand it's not a longer lived female. I'm sure I'll "suffer" through it.
