I have both of these sp. but what are the physical differences between the two? Their colors are almost the same, I just can't put my finger on what it is..
+1, Also, Chromatus have noticeably redder abdomens.chromatus is much lighter colored and doesn't get as big as geniculata

Did you buy them with the scientific names, or hobby names like "White knee" , "black and white birdeater" ? Maybe they are the same spider ? Unless they are spiderling, they should be very easy to tell apart.I have both of these sp. but what are the physical differences between the two?

Don't embed pictures that don't belong to you; link to the original source. Otherwise, it's a good comparison. And like Philth said, unless they're spiderlings, there really shouldn't be any confusing the two species.View attachment 134282 View attachment 134283
This should clear up some of the "subtle" difference's. Lol!
The first one is N.chromatus and the second is A.geniculata..
OK but why is that? Its clear they're Google images and I'm not trying to pass them off as my own....is that an AB policy that I missed or something?Don't embed pictures that don't belong to you; link to the original source.

It's AB policy. If you don't remove them, one of the mods will.OK but why is that? Its clear they're Google images and I'm not trying to pass them off as my own....is that an AB policy that I missed or something?
Thanks for the info..
Should I remove them and just post the link? I don't want to get dinged by a mod...
Ok, thanks for the heads up...I appreciate it!It's AB policy. If you don't remove them, one of the mods will.

No worries they are what they areDid you buy them with the scientific names, or hobby names like "White knee" , "black and white birdeater" ? Maybe they are the same spider ? Unless they are spiderling, they should be very easy to tell apart.

Formerly brocklehursti?No, not necessarily. Females will sometimes have darkened carapace.
Instead, look at the banding pattern.
