The guy i get most of my Tarantulas from said he was even unsure, but he thinks the common name is a Costa Rican Chestnutt. but I cant find any pictures or anything on it. oh and when i got him he was missin a leg so his/her name is Gimpy.

Thanks
Scott

Aphonopelma sp.

The spider often wrongly sold as A. seemanni. WC's are being commonly exported from Guatemala.

Maybe we can just begin labeling them Aphonopelma sp. "Motagua valley" as Eddy suggested.

No it doesn't, you apply the logic wrong. It is said, A. seemanni does have orange spiner's, which doesn't mean at the same time, it would be specific for this species only. You could say, a spider is not A. seemanni when it lacks the orange spinaretts. But you cannot say it is an A. seemanni when there is a spider with orange spinaretts.

Ciao,
Marc.

Has anyone ever checked or considered if these could be Citharacanthus livingstoni? It has always been my uneducated guess.

Eddy?

Martin,
last Stuttgart show i showed all my central america photos to Dirk and J-P Rudloff. they did not think it was C. livingstoni. that is enough to convince me!
