Love that spider Chris, she kind of looks like a Asian Megaphobema peterklaasi to me.{D

Later, Tom

Hi,

thanks seanbond ;-)

Draiman - your spider doesn't look like Haplopelma doriae (aka "Orange Fringed"), but it looks more like the Ornithoctonus species to me. But it is only my tentative guess ;-) However it is very nice specimen. If you have an exuviae it might be a good idea to check a few features by examining it.

Cheers,
Tomasz

Unofrtunatelly I don't know. I think Chris (syndicate) should be more informed about that.

However, both of the above species should be still available here in the Europe ;-)

Cheers,
Tomasz

Interesting, thanks. I have an exuvium, yes. She molted recently. What features should I be looking for? I can provide decent macro pictures of the spermathecae if necessary.

Hi Draiman,
That is a beautiful spider you found there!I can't say for sure but to me it does not look like the orange fringe species.Also if the locality is correct and it was collected in Vietnam than we can be sure it is not this species!
Maybe try and send an image to Volker or Soren?
Good luck!

Thanks for the input Chris. Do you happen to have any photos of spermathecae from any of your Borneo orange fringe specimens? I would love to be able to compare those with that of my spider. :)
