Pterinochilus raygabrieli sp. nov. & P. andrewsmithi sp. nov.

[Martin H.]

Hi,

Rick West drew my attention to this article:

• GALLON, R. C. (2009): Two new Pterinochilus species from Kenya (Araneae, Theraphosidae, Harpactirinae). Bull. Br. Arachnol. Soc. 14(9): 361-364.
  
  Summary:
  Two new theraphosid spider species from East Africa are
  described: Pterinochilus raygabrieli sp. n. from south-central
  Kenya and Pterinochilus andrewsmithi sp. n. from northwestern
  Kenya. The two new species are illustrated and
  diagnosed from their congeners.

all the best,
Martin

Tom, I need to make the time to email you in response to your St. John's questions anyway, and will do so this evening. I'll attach this paper for you in case you hadn't got it yet.
