Arachnocontest #4 - Name That Spider

[MrDeranged]

Arachnocontest Rules And Regulations

Arachnocontests are only open to residents of the continental United States. Sorry to everyone from Canada and elsewhere, but unless you can provide an address in the US where we can ship to, we cannot accept your entries. Please notify me before entering if you do not reside in the U.S.

There will be different Arachnocontest types. If you win, you will no longer be eligible for that type of Arachnocontest until we start over. This is to give everyone an equal opportunity to win.

The Arachnocontest will run for the time stated in the contest thread. Make sure your entries are in before any deadlines stated.

Any further questions, feel free to contact me.

Since there isn't much to go on, I'll guess Acanthoscurria geniculata.

Dennis

[pronty]

Here goes nothing...

Grammostola pulchra

And I'm not from US...

[pamandron]

Well I am going to say, Brachypelma Auratum. :)

[Mendi]

could it be Lasiodora cristatus

[MrDeranged]

To Dennie and Pronty & all,

Please read the rules. If you do not reside in the US or have an address that the T can be shipped to in the US, you are NOT eligible for the contest. I'm sorry about that, but there is no way for it to be shipped out of the US and if you were to guess correctly, then someone who could have won the contest will not be able to as you are not allowed to repeat someone elses guess. If you do have a US address that if you won you would be able to have the T shipped to, then you need to notify me before posting in the thread. The two people that are not from the US that voted before you have US addresses that we would be able to ship to.

Thanks In Advance All,

Scott

[Justin Stricklin]

If someone alreadysaid this I must have looked over it. Ceratogyrus brachycephalus
Justin

[pronty]

Hi mrderanged!
I have read the rules and I know that you can't send T's outside US. I have buddies in US and if I won I would give the T to one of them.

[dennis]

If I would have won it, I would be giving it to the nicest person on these boards ... Not sure on who that is actually :).

Dennis

[MrDeranged]

@ Pronty & Dennie,

That's fine guys, but please either inform me first or put it in your post before you guess.

Thanks,

Scott

[Immortal_sin]

Lasiodora parahybana?

[MrDeranged]

Hey All,

Sorry to say, but two of you have been disqualified from the running of this contest.

@ Dennie, H. lividum was already chosen by Lam.

@ Mendi, L. cristatus was already chosen by Krystal.

Sorry :(

Scott

[blackacidevil]

Psalmopeous_irminia

[rknralf]

I'm going to go with a simple one.
Aphonopelma seemani - Costa Rican Zebra

[Mister Internet]

I don't know beans about Tarantulas...

Chilobrachys fimbriatus

[wariat]

P. cambridgei

[Godzilla2000]

Well my guess is going to be going with the obvious. What better way to win a Brachypelma ruhnaui than by posting something as obvious (Or maybe not.) as the mandibles of an adult of the very same breed of Tarantula. They say the best way to hide something is to put it right out in the open. So my official answer is Brachypelma ruhnaui.

[Philth]

Cyriopagopus thorelli, sorry if i missed this name on some one else's post.

[Tim R.]

Lasiodorides striatus

[Jobe]

im guessing H lividum with Dennie and Lam. I know i aint gonna be eligible, just wanted to play :D

Heteroscodra Maculata, i doubt it but i'll try something that hs'nt been said already--Jeff

[kellygirl]

B. albopilosum?

kellygirl

[Jmagnuss]

B. angustum

[vulpina]

Aphonopelma seemanni

[MrDeranged]

Sorry to say Andy, but you're disqualified due to a duplicate guess. A. seemanni was already guessed by rknralf. :(

Scott

Only 15 minutes left to get your guesses in. The species will be named at 8pm EST

Good Luck to you all!!!!

[MrDeranged]

Hey All,

Unfortunately no one was able to correctly "Name The Spider" this week, said tarantula being T. purpureus. Here's a slightly easier to identify picture of said spider.

Better Luck Next Time All,

Joy, Kelly & Scott
