[QUOTE="Ceratogyrus, post: 19963, member: 371"] You are getting your terminology all mixed up which is confusing you. Let's take a Rear horned baboon spider for example. The FAMILY is Theraphosidae. There are many different Genera within this family such as Brachypelma, Lasiodora and Ceratogyrus. The GENUS is Ceratogyrus. Within Ceratogyrus there are many species such as brachycephalus, marshalli and darlingi. The SPECIES is darlingi If you were to breed 2 species within a Genus you would probably get fertile offspring. This is seen in the many unintentional/intentional hybrids made in the hobby from, to name a few, Ceratogyrus, Brachypelma, Lasiodora and Avicularia. If you were to try breed 2 species from different Genera together it would probably not even get past the mating stage as the different Genera would have unique courtship behavior, mating triggers and pheromones.
