Hello all,

If anyone has scientific papers on any of the following species, and is willing to forward them to me, please contact me via PM.

Chilobrachys guanxiensis
Poecilotheria Miranda
Poecilotheria fasciata
Vitalius vellutinus
Acanthoscurria juruenicola
Grammostola rosea
Avicularia metallica
Brachypelma albopilosum

Much thanks in advance!

I would suggest hitting:

http://www.exoticfauna.com/tarantulabibliography/index.html

And then ask for specific titles. An open ended request puts a lot of work on us who have libraries of .pdf's, and you may not get much of a response.

Thanks, I'll look on there. I was looking primarily for the Platnick references. But I'm happy to take anything I can get. I would just order papers from the intralibrary loan system, but that costs money, money I don't have.

Some papers you're asking for are found online.

For C. guangxiensis (note spelling):
Zhu, M. S. & R. Zhang. 2008. Revision of the theraphosid spiders from China (Araneae: Mygalomorphae). Journal of Arachnology 36: 425-447. --> http://www.americanarachnology.org/JoA_free/JoA_v36_n2/arac-36-2-425.pdf

For V. vellutinus (recommended for anyone interested in Theraphosinae):
Bertani, R. 2001. Revision, cladistic analysis, and zoogeography of Vitalius, Nhandu, and Proshapalopus; with notes on other theraphosine genera (Araneae, Theraphosidae). Arquivos de Zoologia, São Paulo 36: 265-356. --> http://www.revistasusp.sibi.usp.br/pdf/azmz/v36n3/a01v36n3.pdf

You can find papers on P. miranda, P. fasciata, G. rosea (also http://www.sil.si.edu/digitalcollections/bca/) and A. metallica on http://www.biodiversityheritagelibrary.org. Be sure to use the full scientific name when searching and try older/obsolete names (found in the Catalog).

I agree with esotericman that posting specific titles/references is more effective.
