I can delete hanumavilasum from the carapace-id, and waith for publish. I think that hanumavilasum is synonymous with kirki/peterkirki/hillyardi, I have lots of pictures of these species on my computer and they all look the same, both the dorsal and ventral-side of the newfound species.

/Stefan "Phalagorn" Bergström...

"Hanumavilasum" is indeed the same spider that Andrew Smith had originally intended to name after Peter Kirk (hence, "kirki" or "peterkirki"). According to what Andrew wrote on the BTS site, Peter respectfully declined having this species bear his name out of deference to the "holy site" where it is found.

Quite frankly, I am still astonished that these proposed names circulate prior to publication.

Could you post 2 picyures of your Poecilotheria sp. both dorsal and ventral-side? (the whole body of your specimen, please)

Here you go, Phalagorn, sorry this was the best i could with the ventral shot (did I happen to mention this is a poec?)...

Let me know what you think.

Looking at the ventral leg pattern I would say ornata.

It´s definitely a Poecilotheria ornata!

 

[Jeff_C]

Yeah...I thought so. Just trying to prove the chart you presented.

Thanks for sharing it with us.

regalis

i would say its regalis as it is exactly the same as mine. one of the most beautiful tarantulas commonly available i think. got her from British Tarantula Society show back in 2001.

It isn't a regalis, that is an ornata.

I thought I'd add this link to this sticky, or maybe it should be in a new sticky. Anyway, this has been saved on my bookmarks for a while. It's the ventral pokie species listing.

better use this link:

And a bit more useful for IDing Poecilotheria spp. is the pictorial key drawn by Søren Rafn:

[T. Junkie1]

That's great info. Phalagorn thx. Also, I was wondering if someone could take a look at the pics of my P. regalis I posted in the Poecilotheria photos section and maybe give me thier thoughts on the sex of this little guy/girl. I would really appreciate it as this is an area I seem to really strugle with.
