Not a spider I'm overly interested in but I did get one recently as a sling (D. pentaloris). I noticed a user uploaded photo of one that was labeled C. pentalore. I've also seen D. pentalore listed on some dealer sites. I suspect that's just confusion due to similarity to D. pentaloris.
In the taxonomy history on the WSC's website it shows:
From what I have gathered doing some quick digging it looks like C. fasciatus was sold in the hobby a long while back but was actually C. pentalore. However, Gabriel moved some Cyclosternum in to Davus that had fused spermathecae. Pentalore was one of these and afaik was renamed D. pentaloris.
Why is there no mention of C. pentalore in the taxonomic references for either the Davus or Cyclosternum genus? Or, is the D. pentalore from 1998 (Schmidt) because it was never accepted as C. pentalore thus no listing?
