Which name is the correct one now for albostriatum?

[Gaherp]

I have a few H. albostriatum now and was just wondering if this is the correct scientific name now. Also is albostriatus and albostriatum the same species?

It seems it's now Cyriopagopus albostriatus? I think. I may be wrong though.

The ending of the species name follows the gender of the genus name. So, yeah, albostriatum and -tus are the same, depending on the genus:

I think it's Cyriopagopus (m, -us ending) albostriatus now, at least the WSC says so.

The -pelma ending in Haplopelma is actually neutrum gender despite the -a suggesting female, (because it's from Greek, not Latin,) so most words describing a characteristic feature as species name should end in -um (neutrum ending). So it was Haplopelma albostriatum. (Same with Brachypelma - and it's Sericopelma generalum, not generala).

Now you know more than you ever wanted to, sorry .

Edit: And since I'm doing a lecture on Greek/Latin anyway I should add that albostriatum/us = white striped

That's actually very interesting information, so thank you for sharing!

Cyriopagopus albostriatus (although I've noticed that some people refuse to call them by this name and insist that they're still Haplopelma albostriatum).

According to the report submitted, late 2015 by Smith/Jacobi, Haplopelma was replaced by Cyriopagopoeus and accepted by Platnicks World Spider Catalog.
I still haven't changed the labels on mine. Lol!
