Wishful tarantula scientific name

[BoyFromLA]

Scorpions are not tarantulas of course, though there is one scorpion species with the scientific name literally repeats itself: Hottentotta hottentotta. One day, maybe, hopefully, tarantulas will be named like this too.

Brachypelma brachypelma
Chilobrachys chilobrachys
Aphonopelma aphonopelma
Bumba bumba
Xenethis xenethis
Poecilotheria poecilotheria

Oh yeah! I completely forgot about that one. This gives away that I am not an avicularia person.

Anyway, i would love Ornithoctoninae ornithoctoninae, just for the fun of seeing people trying to say the hard part twice.
