Please help my identify this spider

[Raveness]

Yeah.. Looks just like it.. Before you posted I was thinking H.
albostriatum

 

[Tangled WWWeb]

I would guess a Lasiodorides sp. as well.

Yah, now it looks more ike Lasiodorides Striatus. I just seem to remember some old thread about an unknown sp. that people thought were either a Seemani or an L. Striatus.
Anyway, any hints of aggressiveness? Skittishness?

 

[Joy]

I vote with the Lasiodorides striatus lobby.

Check out the L polycuspaltus pic at John Hoke's site... 'more grey' than this one but perhaps after time? Whacha think?

Thanks again for all your help. But i think Tony might be right. It does look like a Lasiodorides polycuspulatus. Assuming the pic from E-spiderworld is a recantly molted spider like mine, i would say its that. I will post updated pics in a few weeks. Thanks so much for all your help.

 

[Philth]

Also does any body know what this spider is worth if it is a L. polycuspulatus ?

 

[Chris]

That spider is so hard to guess because it looks different in every pic you have posted lol

 

[Phillip]

gotta go with Joy...

Looks like L striatus to me. It's not L polycuspulatus as it's too dark overall and polycuspulatus has more of a golden color to it. Here's a female and I'll try to get a pic of the male up tonight or tomorrow. As to the value of them I couldn't say as I haven't seen them available in a while. Cool spiders though.

Im so confused now. Why do the pics of L. striatus on birdspiders.com look like they are so dark?

 

[belewfripp]

Philth: Those are pics of her fresh-molted? I wouldn't rule out A. seemanni yet. Every seemanni I have owned comes out of molt with reddish striping that eventually fades after a month or two. Does your T look almost blue with red stripes? That is what my seemanni come out looking like at first before dulling into grey with white striping. I thought one of my seemanni was an L striatus at one time before hearing confirmation from others of the reddish tinge seemanni can acquire after a molt.

Dosent A. seemani have a brown underbody?

 

[belewfripp]

Bright orange usually.

[Philth]

This spider is black on its underside, that why i didnt think A. seemani.:?

 

[belewfripp]
