:clap: The pronounced elongation of the abdomen in these is very interesting. Although selenocosmine theraphosids in general show this tendency, it seems much greater in this spider.

Cheers, Michael

Hi Michael,

Yes, most of this genus have the elongated abdomens, may have something to do with being an arid region tarantula and needing to maximise on feeding when given the chance.

Here's another one from this genus on it's way soon, Selenotypus sp. "Glenelva":

Cheers,
Steve

Hey Steve, is this the glenelva adult female i sent to you like a few months back to breed with a male you have??

 

[Steve Nunn]

HI Kyle,
No, this one is captive raised Your big female never dropped a sac, moulted out beforehand, which was a shame.

Too bad finding an Aussie T for sale in the U.S. is like trying to find a needle in a haystack (or is it hay in a needle stack??)

Hey Steve, I was wondering when you eventually get to exporting to the states, if either of those first two Selenotypus sp. will be available? They're the most beautiful shade of tan and I love how hairy they are.

Hi,
Exports begin very shortly, within a couple of weeks The first two pictured will not be exported until later this year, toward December or so. I am working on them though Of the Selenotypus to be exported this time round, you will see S.plumipes southern form (same as the holotype) and Selenotypus sp. "glenelva". These two are fairly closely related, part of the southern complex, there are however characters that define them as separate species.

Cheers,
Steve

WoW, these are very interesting spiders.
They look so diferent from each other...

I was trying to choose the one I prefer but I could not, they are all very attractive.

Nice pics also, Steve. :clap:

Hi,
S.plumipes, type species for the genus and one of Australia's largest T's.
