ID welcome

The pics show only one thing - some "tiger rump" apearence and since so at least the Cyclosternum (Davus) fasciatum has 2 "ghost-species" very similar looking the only spermatheacae pic can make somebody to tell You something useful, John...

looke like a c. fasciatum to me

 

[CedrikG]

yeah she got some similar mark to the C. Fasciatum ... but from a dark pic, iding a t is more a guess then something else

You should have posted these pics in the I.D. thread you already have going on this spider... would be a lot more helpful I think, and maybe save on a bunch of "that's definetly a Davus fasciatus, mine looks just like that" responses. (That's not addresed to you guys above, b/c it does look just like it! )

But anyway, your not going to get a better I.D. or advice than what was in the other threads. Likely a Cyclosternum or Davus species. There are (probably multiple) Davus fasciatus lookalike's and even a Davus sp. "Vera cruz" that was collected and bred (per the other thread). If you could maybe get contact info for Fabian Vol, and if he had the time, he would be the one ask.

Ok, which part is this exactly and/or do you have an example of such a pic?

I am quite new to T's.

Pic is kinda dark (photoshop can fix that), but agreed w/Bagaturov.... that pic wont get an accurate ID

John - how can I say to You - spermathecae is the spermathecae...
Look here for definitions: http://tarantulas.tropica.ru/english/index2.php?link=sexing.html and also at one of my plates You can find the drawing of C. fasciatum frrm Schmidt's article and is the picture (very bad indeed...) of the spermathecae of the real C. fasciatum from type locality of Costa-Rica.
Also note that thу real one C. fasciatum is rather small species - a full-grown female (like mine of about 6 years old) only reaches not more then 5 сm in body lenght.
Hope this clear the situation for You a bit...

When I have the equipment I will examine the exuviae.

The only thing I can tell You for now that this is looking like "Cyclosternum fasciatum" tarantula is possibly the female, so the spermo pic is highly possible after her molt
