Lasiadora and Lasiodorides and Lasiodorides striatus Appreciation Thread

[Big Dragonfly]

Are these really the same genus? Or are they so closely related that they were given a very similar name. Lasiadorades striatus is a very striking spider that in many ways appears quite similar to many of the Lasiadoras to me.

And while at it, if you have pictures of L. striatus, please post them.

Thanks,

Jon

The lasiodorides etymology refers to the hide-like texture on the carapace

Enter the picture-posting-whore that is deifiler :D

Lasiodorides Polycuspalatus

[Steve Nunn]

If you go over to the GEA site, you'll find the original description for the type of the genus Lasiodorides polycuspulatus.

I believe it's the large number of cuspules on the labium that define this genus (hence the types species name: polycuspulatus

Cheers,
Steve

Yes, that's correct, thoguh he asked the differences between the Genus, not what defines the polycuspalatus from the striatus

Yes, my apology. Well, what defines the difference between the two genera :

Lasiodorides spp. do not possess a stridulating organ, Lasiodora spp. does.

There are minimal plumose setae on the retrolateral surface of femur IV in Lasiodorides spp., in Lasiodora spp., they are plentiful.

Here's my Lasiodora striatipes......about 5 inches now and one of my favorites! He's male, so maybe someday he'll go on a breeding loan and I'll get some slings from him.

And once again I revel in the fact that I am the only one with a parahybana who went from brown to black-and-pink, to brown again..

[laila]

Well, I just have to throw in some pictures, then....

Here is my Lasiodora parahybana juvenile, she's close to a moult:

And here is my other L. parahybana juvie:

And here is my (most likely) male Lasiodorides striatus, who hopefully is going to become a father after a moult or two:

Actually she molted about two months ago and I'm having a hell of a time fattening her up! She was on the thin side when I got her, and no amount of crickets or fuzzy mice is making her much fatter. Her appetite is good, so I keep throwing the food to her. She does look a little better, but not as fat as I like.....which isn't saying much considering I dislike the "obese softball" look on my T's. I'll take new pictures of her soon.

[arachna]

My L. parahybana molted tonight:) Here are some pics:

[CIRE]

Here's my little "difficult" one...it's so cute when it takes down crickets twice its size!!! I love it!!!

Does anybody have some pics of any fullgrown L. difficilis?
