Cyriopagopus sp. 'Blue' vs. Lampropelma violaceopes

Which is which? Are they two distinct species or not?
Evidence?

I think it's pending...

They are, according to many, the same animal, found in 1924 and named Lv, then rediscovered and named Cyriopagopus. I look at others Cyrios and visualize them blue in my head and it fits pretty much, while I didn't see anything that was a confirmed Lampropelma sp. Also, the Blue's mature male looks a lot like the other Cyriopagopus sp's MM as well.

It's all about minutes details to be gathered, but I really expect this one to be renamed.

I've even seen the same dealer list the two different spiders on the same sale list. Are there two different spiders being called the same thing as well then?

this should help.....http://www.atshq.org/forum/showthread.php?t=18912
