i think its an avicularia spieces.

I doubt it it doesn't even look arboreal! more of a terrestrial look to it and the name is at the top of photo.

 

[Stopdroproll]

i think its an avicularia spieces.

Not fuzzy enough.

 

[Falk]

NOT arboreal!!!

 

[xhexdx]

I agree; not Avicularia, not arboreal, and not common in the hobby. Wouldn't surprise me if one or two individuals have specimens somewhere though.

Nice spider.

Hey Isaac, as it says above the picture it's an Ami species. That's right, Ami is a genus name. This genus was described in 2008. There are currently 7 described species in the genus, and with one exception - Ami obscura - all of them were described in the same publication as the genus. They have modified type I urticating hairs (Avicularia have type II urticating hairs), and a quite unique spermathecae structure. I know some Ami specimens were/are available for sale, at least in Europe.

Isaac, sometimes it is best to close your mouth and open your ears for a while. Don't be ashamed to admit to yourself that you have a lot to learn (as we all do). Just some constructive criticism.

Ami amazonica
Ami bladesi
Ami caxiuana

i knew what the name is, its just so weird for a binomial name.
so i wasnt quite sure if that was correct.
so why is ami genus hard to come by?
anyone got one?
caresheets/size/any other faq?

i am just extremely fascinated by this genus.
how much will one put you out for?

thanks for all the info.

 

[xhexdx]

thanks for all the info.

There isn't any real info to give...

 

[Smitty78]

Off topic I know, but the fact that anyone still asks for a caresheet amazes me.

 

[Mack&Cass]

A dealer in Canada has Ami sp. Columbia for sale. It's pretty drab looking. But as a lot of us know, some of the most drab looking specimens are the coolest attitude-wise (I'm talking about you, P. cancerides and Catumiri sp.).

Why?
dont you wona know about any new critter before looking in to getting one?

 

[xhexdx]

I guess it's because the caresheets are generally crap.

Not something the new guys would know, I suppose, but it's something all us old fogeys are well aware of. :}

I think by "caresheet" means general question how to keep animal
besides do 'search' I also would ask, maybe here is few folks know thing better

 

[Merfolk]

I wonder which of the 7 sp is the no 4 on OP's original pics!
