according to my buddy who's been dealing with T's for 25+ years it's definately a P. spinifer....he also said that without physically examining the subject in question, you can't distinguish the 2 based on photos....i agree....

a pachypus is a dwarf stoutleg....and like i said before....it was examined and verified as a spinifer....

i just caught you lying before you said pachypus was featherleg now you say it's dwarf stoutleg p.spinifers are orange they are believed to be a synonem of p.murinus "usumbara" that is what i read on a british tarantula forum

OK....my buddy david just clarified everything for me....I am incorrect....ya'll are right....he told me spinifer wound up being changed to a species that closely resembles an usambara....and that pachypus is now the correct listing....sorry for an confusion....

Hi,

it's definately a P. spinifer....
btw: Pterinochilus spinifer was synonymized by R. GALLON in 2002 with the species Eucratoscelus constrictus.
E. constrictus differs from E. pachypus (the spider on your picture). E. pachypus possess stiffened russet setae on retrolateral surfaces of patella, tibia, metatarsus and tarsus. E. constrictus "only" possess incrassate Tibia.

Here an Picture of the Leg IV of E. pachypus.

The mammilatus name is old. Now useful name is murinus.
