[heering80]

There's a T in the front page of http://giantspiders.com/ that I'd like to be IDed. The reason is that I think I have one of these and have forgotten the name

Blue bloom tarantula (Pamphobeteus nigricolor)

Pampho.......

If it's Pampho them mine isn't because mine was never like THIS.

It might be that it was sold to me as one though..

All I remember is that I was shown a picture in giantspiders.com and the picture title was something like "one of the worst tempered species in the world.." (and that holds true).

Might be that Xenesthis..

phormictopus atrichomatus


My best guess I do not have more time to look it up some more.

Ahhh, I think it was that that I have! Google finds that picture from giantspiders.com but I can't find it manually anymore

its not Xenesthis or phormictopus its probably nigricolor.

You're right. I think it's quite odd because mine is very interesting and active. And far better looking than some more popular genuses..

My guess is a Xenethis sp. based on the matatarsus of leg IV.

Looks like a pampho in need of a molt to me.

Based on what , the color ? The pic you have linked to is a mature male. Ultimate male Xenesthis and Pamphobeteus generally go through a drastic color change. ID'ing from a photo is a guess. ID'ing it based on color, from a photo is a wild guess. Based on the body structure from the pic, Im sticking with a Xenethis sp.

It resembled a pampho, I am going a little off the color but it looks like a pampho in general. We will never know who's right unless the owner of the site pipes in.

What about checking the "gallery section at the site first? If the spider is still hard to find then perhaps mail the sitehiolder? I am sure Guy will be a nice guy and answer if you approach him politely ...
