Hi,
The first two images are of Lyrognathus achilles, I am 100% positive

Cheers,

the first two look like totally different species.....not even the same carapace shape or abdomen shape.

Interesting how they seem to pop up in hobby so fast after a new paper is published on these :?
Beautiful species none the less!
Number 3 looks quite like a newly molted Selenocosmia javanensis

Nice pics

Peter,

Wow! You guys might get me on the ow train sooner than I thought. Pic 1, although prob. mainly due to posturing of the indiv. combined with lens angle, looks superficially like some nw terrestrials. The combination of the cold, deep black opisthosoma with warm, chocolate brown in the legs is fantastic!

Thanks for posting,

Terry

There is a chance that "sp.2" is Lyrognathus fuscus. Easiest to tell from post moult individuals. Or, send an exuvium for ID.

The above spiders all hail from Kalimantan in Borneo (although they do look like some from the above mentioned regions, they are not), including the black one. They were being sold prior to description as I understand it. We discovered them from the collectors list actually, Hari Yanto.
