Martin,

I noticed that P. langenbucheri isn't in the WSC. I'm assuming it's a new species?

Did these just come into the hobby in Europe?

Ah Ok, could you ask the owner if it is possile to link them?
hopefully this sp. will add to the psalmo genus common in the hobby soon!

there is an image of a mature male in a magazine called DRACO.

DRACO (Terraristik - Themenheft), Nr 16, Jahrgang 4 (2003-4) on page 46 in a "Vogelspinnen" idition of the magazine.

Chris,

On page 46, I have a picture labelled as undescribed Tapinauchenius sp. Is it that one?

Hi Martin
Ok I will come clean and say that I can not be totally sure if it the same as the one which Martin H posted (think so though but can't recall the name ) but I do know that pic is a Psalmopoeus sp. and not a
Tapinauchenius sp. as I asked the person who took the photo. The one in the book is or has been discribed but can't remember for sure if he called it langenbucheri or not?

Martin H can say more I am sure.

Hi,

not really new, but recently described, yes.

Did these just come into the hobby in Europe?

I know from specimens collected and imported into Germany already in 1994.

Ok I will come clean and say that I can not be totally sure if it the same as the one which Martin H posted (think so though but can't recall the name ) but I do know that pic is a Psalmopoeus sp. and not a
Tapinauchenius sp. as I asked the person who took the photo. The one in the book is or has been discribed but can't remember for sure if he called it langenbucheri or not?

yep, that's the same. It's the species Boris Striffler was working on with some colleagues. His paper was finished and already in the peer review process, but unfortunately G. Schmidt – who knew that Boris Striffler was working on this species – ignored this, wrote a paper about it and published it in a non peer review magazine, before Boris et al.'s paper could be published. *sigh*

all the best,
Martin
