Bought this from 1 of our suppliers, but I don't know alot about solifugids, and the only info I can find with any depth is on Galeodes granti, Egyptian Black-banded, but I don't believe this is that species. Perhaps Galeodes arabs, but the abdomen doesn't seem to be as dark as the pictures I have seen. It was sold to me under the common name Egyptian Giant, but no search on that common has turned anything of note up.

I need some experts to give me their 2 cents.
