sure it´s a vorax?? Or did u only buy it as a vorax?!? anyway, she´s very pretty

 

[FryLock]

I agree with Improver very nice but im pretty sure it won't be vorax but a lot of P.murinus of the other colour forms (the normal/tan and new intermediate one) are being sold as P.vorax, a good pic of it's spermathecae would tell if it's P.murinus.

somebody has really photo of P.vorax?

Not the best picture, but it's all I could find.

On the picture under the link you wrote here is Heteroscodra maculata, so no vorax again... Real vorax isn`t probably available in the hobby...

That's what I get for not running the page through a translator. :wall: I saw the scientific name and just assumed the pic went with the name. oops. :8o

my is true.Bought in Germany from breeder the difference of boundary strip is :vorax and murinus. it was one should compare.alone I at the beginning did not it distinguish.My 100% vorax it no murinus. Weak photo to comparing

 

[bugsnstuff]

Same here but from this.

Bought in Germany from breeder the difference of boundary strip is :vorax and murinus.

I think he means the breeder said it's from a different geographic range then P.murinus (difference of boundary strip?), but as far I see from Richards map’s P.murinus is found both north and south of P.vorax range so even if the stock was collected in some place were P.vorax is know from it does not mean P.murinus is not found there to.

Edit: My bad only south of vorax but they could still be in the same area.

Ok done my home work in case anyone was interested.

P.murinus has been found in Burundi Zimbabwe Mozambique Tanzania Kenya Zambia Angola and DR of the Congo (Zaire or whatever it is now) and even South Africa .

P.vorax has been found in Tanzania Burundi Angola DR of the Congo and Rwanda.

P.murinus has it's most northern location as Kenya and P.vorax is most northern location as in Rwanda, from the known sites marked vorax seems to be found more to the northwest in both Angola and Dem rep of Congo then murinus locations in the same countries (although P.murinus is only known from one local in the southwest of D.R.O.C) also P.murinus is not known from Rwanda but it is known from near by in Burundi.

So maybe it was collected from somewere were P.murinus was not known but vorax is,but like Peter has said i don't think the real one's are in the hobby.

where did you find all that info frylock?

 

[FryLock]

where did you find all that info frylock?

Opss i should have cited as the info is taken all from one work (and very good it is).

"Gallon, R.C. Revision of the African Genera Pterinochilus and
Eucratoscelus (Araneae, Theraphosidae, Harpactirinae) with Description
of Two New Genera. Bull. Br. Arachnol. Soc. (2002) 12(5), 201-232"

 

[jbrd]

ok? is that a book you have?

 

[GoTerps]

As stated in his citation, it is from the Bulletin of the British Arachnological Society.
