Haplopelma Spp.

Kaos · Nov 24, 2003

Hi!
Posting some pics of my Haplopelma? Spp?. I'm not expecting somebody to give me a positive ID, but maybe someone could give me a clue? It was sold as a "Asian Chevron"

Kaos · Nov 24, 2003

Another one

Kaos · Nov 24, 2003

Last one.

Hi
You cannot give a 100% accurate identification from a photograph, but it looks to me like a Haplopelma, possibly sp."longipedum" or the "Vietnam" species.

Kaos · Nov 24, 2003

Thanks Lopez. I'll have to try and get the exuvium from it's burrow when it molts, and send it of to someone to get a correct ID.

Lopez · Nov 24, 2003

Haplopelma tend to web the cast exuvium to the floor, but it can be removed if you take care. I'm sending mine to Soren Rafn in a couple of weeks for him to have a look at.

Hi Josh!

Traded it against a Trap Door Spider and a Centipede which i had imported, so costed me about 20$. The price in the pet store was about 60$, But T's are a little more expensive here in Norway than in the US i think.

It's the Haplopelma longipedum, or the T formerly known as Cyriopagopus paganus.

Haplopelma longipedum? Who has described this species?

Strange, I can't find that one on the Platnick list? :? ;-)

Kaos · Nov 25, 2003

Anyone know when these "new" Haplopelma spp. will be described and given a proper Species name?

I believe the name "longipedum" is unofficial. That's why it has the quotation marks.

Hi,

"senor ocho" didn't use quotation marks, that's the reason why I have asked. With quotation marks and even better with a "sp." or "spec." like Haplopelma sp. "longipedum", no problem from my side. Otherwise it is a "fales statement" because it suggests that it is a described species.

all the best,
Martin

Ohhh I see

senor ocho · Nov 25, 2003

Very well, quotation marks added. "longipedum" Since they bumped this from Cyriopagopus and slapped it in Haplopelma, longipedum is what they're considering. Oops, forgot the quotations again. "longipedum"

Martin,
Not even a concern, I figured you'd get the joke. If we can't laugh at ourselves, truly, who can we laugh at?

sorry, I didn't – maybe because I am not a native English speaker and are not so "sensitive" for allusions. I thought you wanted to say that they have transfered Cyriopagopus paganus to Haplopelma sp. "longipedum"
anyway, probably all that systematic stuff is boring most T keepers...

all the best,
Martin

Hi Martin,
Do you think Volker will describe the Haplopelma Sp. "Longipedum or will he wait for more info on the C. Paganus holotype?, andand what about the "aureopilosum"?

I'm at least very interested in "that systematic stuff"

Is there any kind of temporary key to the Haplopelma Sp. "Longipedum? And were can i get hold of it?

Kaos · Nov 25, 2003

Thanks Martin!
I'll take a look at it and see if i can figure it out.
