Are there any species of theraphosids native to Spain, or France? I have read about something native to southern spain and portugal but cannot get a latin name for the life of me.
thanks

Ischnocolus andalusiacus
Ishnocolus holoserceus
Ishnoocolus valentinus
I belive these can be found in parts of Spain and Portugal or if you go as far as Cyprus and Turky you may find some Chaetopelma sp. like anatolicum,gracile & karlamani .I exspect there are more just waiting to be found though!

The correct name is ischnocolus valentinus, not Ischnocolus andalusiacus or
Ishnocolus holoserceus.
She lives in south and east's coast, under greats rocks.
Temperature: 18º C at night and 22º c by day.
Isn't aggressiveness but very very fast.
Size: females 5-6 cm(about 2") males 2-3 cm

I got information that before now the same specie was differentiated in three; Ischnocolus valentinus, Ischnocolus andalusiacus and Ischnocolus holosericeus. But after a classification, it was checked that the three of them were the same, that is, they correspond to a one, Ischnocolus valentinus.

Well, if this is indeed true, I think we can expect a change in classification of these species within the next 10 years maybe!!
