Wow! She is beautiful:drool: RCF (P.murinus) are without a doubt one of the most beautiful species out there IMO.

lol, such sweeties... i was thinking of getting one. i saw a gorgeous mammilatus at our local petstore but it's 45 euro :?

 

[Tegenaria]

Such an intense foxy red colour on that one!

 

[Arachnophilist]

whats a mammilatus?

 

[Alice]

pterinochilus mammilatus? they're kind of copper-colored... some people claim that they are the same species as murinus, only with a slightly different coloring.

Please forgive me if I'm spacing here, but could you tell me what that red plastic thing is? Is it grasping the t somehow? Just curious......
Very nice looking obt. Pissy as usual apparently.

EDIT:What a tool:? . The t is just sitting on the thing isn't it?

Does'nt look like Pterinochilus murinus UMV to me , to much bright not enough dark. Also, its very hard if not impossible to tell if your specimen is a UMV , TCF or RCF as everybady mix up the color forms, so of course the only way to get a pure specimen is to find a WC.

Here i've 2 specimen that look very close to the UMV or TCF color form or a mix of both who know.
the first one

the second one, you see, gold-red coloration

P. mammilatus was found to be synonymous with P. murinus.

P. mamillatus Strand, 1906 = P. murinus Pocock, 1897 (Gallon, 2002: 211).

I agree with Cedrik - although the color forms can be very hard to distinguish, the one pictured *looks* more like RCF than UMV, but I'm certainly very well-versed in African theraphosidae.

Scott C. => is a piece of plastic to T climb and make her web... tomorrow I will post photos of as that it is full of web...

Baboon => she was sold to me as Usumbara Baboon, but here in Brazil, the mix of P. murinus are rare... and I think all sold here is the old P. mammilatus... this is a UMV or a TPC ? or other color variation??

thanks all... but the most important point is: she love me, she raises its legs and smile for me all the times that I open its terrarium... she love me, right??

ahhauhsushuahsuha

Pterinochilus mammilatus is most of the time related to Pterinochilus murinus RCF , personally I think its impossible to tell wich color form the Pterinochilus mamillatus is related exactly.

So are you saying that P. mamillatus is still a valid species? According to Platnick - it is no longer a valid species and is synonymous with P. murinus as of 2005.

 

[CedrikG]

No no ...

I say that the Pterinochilus mammilatus in my opinion cannot be related to the Pterinochilus murinus RCF, but only to the species Pterinochilus murinus, any color form included. Many people relate it to the Pterinochilus murinus RCF but theres just no way to know what color form were the specimen that STRAND Ided as Pterinochilus mammilatus

Oh, and its

P. mamillatus Strand, 1906 = P. murinus Pocock, 1897 (Gallon, 2002: 211).
