It'll be simpler to pronounce at least. Sort of an ugly name compared to the long-standing one but taxonomy is taxonomy.

Ugh, I hate name changes. Citharischius crawshayi sounds so much better.

C. crawshayi still sounds better, and I don't see it as hard to pronounce. Pelinobius muticus has to be the dumbest name ever.

I agree Citharischius crawshayi is my all time favorite scientific name, and my all time favorite T.

Latin names aren't there to be pretty usually. I can pronounce Citharsichius crawshayi, but I remember not being able to figure out how to say it when I was newer to the hobby. That's part of the fun though. Pelinobius muticus doesn't leave enough room for error so that I can embarrass myself when talking to someone who knows how to properly pronounce a latin name.

At least Pelinobius muticus is better than Eremobates inyoanus.

Everyone will get used to it. They got over G. aureostriata to G. pulchripes. Cyriopagopus sp. "Singapore blue" to L. violaceopes. Sounds like A. diversipes may get moved to Iridopelma. T's getting renamed is just part of the hobby :D

True . . . I think Iridopelma needs to be in the Avic genus haha . They look so similar ! Soon they are gonna change the roseas name - Wait they already did :wall:
