Thanks for clearing that up I think I'll follow suit in ditching the H/N form naming scheme and go with Tliltocatl sp. for the former Hondoran curlies and T.albopilosum for the former Nicaraguans.Yes, both would now be Tliltocatl albopilosum in the pet trade. But can we stop calling the white one "Nicaraguan form" and the brown one "Honduran form"? The white one is T. albopilosum and matches the original description of the tarantula from Costa Rica which would mean T. albopilosum occurs in both Costa Rica and Nicaragua. The brown one is yet to be confirmed to be a variant or a different species and should be referred to as Tliltocatl sp. "Honduran Curly Hair" or something similar. I just made up "Honduran Curly Hair". The full extent of their range has yet to be published.
