Tliltocatl vagans or Tliltocatl kahlenbergi

[Lee87]

Evening all, just wondered if anyone keeps the above and also what the main visual differences between the two are. Basically I have four T's (2x MM 2x MF) and I wanna be 100%sure of the species. Thanks in advance!

Were you not told what species they were when you bought them?

Don't know about the 2nd one but I have a Tliltocatl Vagans and I gotta say it I've only seen it outside its hide in the last 4 months I've had it.

To my understanding, T. vagans have a darker carapace compared to T. kahlenbergi. Perhaps T. vagan's abdominal hairs are redder than kahlenbergi's ? That bit I really don't know. Either way, it's a Red Rump T. Enjoy !
