Have they ever gave the "chicken spider" a Latin name,or figured out which one it belongs to? Or is it still called "P.sp.chicken spider"?

Are you talking about the Pamphobeteus antinuous? One of the common names is Chicken Spider.

From what I've been able to read on the webs,they weren't sure whether they belonged to that species,or if they were a separate species.All of the info was a couple of years old,I was wondering whatever became of that debate.

Haven't heard anything on that. Pampho taxonomy is fairly confused, so don't expect developments anytime soon. It's going to take a full-scale revision to sort things out. The chicken spider thing is kind of a moot point, as we're not getting any for years.

Get us a pic u sure she is right spider??
Female pamphs are hard to identify barring a few species. If the "chicken spider" got a name it would have probably been mention in the large thread that has been going on for years about them.

You might be able to get them in Europe. I haven't heard of them being available in the US.
