Your right James, I think the T.apohyshis has a longer leg span, while the T. blondi is heavier bodied.

Yeah, they both are awsome species, in an awsome genus!

According to Stan Schultz, it all depends on who you talk to with the biggest being: T.blondi, T.apohyshis and L.parahybana. He has seen/knows people with 11-13" specimins of all of the above. Also I dont know how everyone measures them so that could account for 2 inches being counted or un-counted right there.
