Apopyphis or Blondi ?

[bwhatch2]

sorry for the all the repeated questions...im kind of a slow learner.
ive been trying to boil this down to easiest terms so I can remember it.
if I got it right.....

• if there is hair ON the patella , it is a blondi
• if no hair on the patella, it is an apop

Yes...and the hairs are much more prominent on a T. blondi....they are "fluffier".

When they are slings, it's easy to tell the difference.

T. Blondi - no pink feet
T. Apophysis - all feet are pink
T. Stirmi- only the first 4 feet are pink


Adults:

Blondi - hair starts on the patella and goes all the way down the leg. They are fluffier.

Stirmi- hair isn't very prominent

Apophysis - hair starts under the patella and the femurs are purple when you shine a light on them.

Google Search

true, but if everybody google searched, or searched the forums first, then what would the point of this forum be? because there are no new or unique questions about t's to be asked. at this point everything is a repeat.
I am sure I can google it and find a bunch of them, then I have to go through them see which ones might be accurate, peer reviewed, etc...,., where im hoping maybe somebody here has already done that and can say "sure, I like this one.."

Not exactly what you're looking for but you might find this interesting,

Brachypelma revision of 2020 explained.

The most recent major revision of the Brachypelma genus occurred in 2020, when the genus was split into two: Brachypelma and a new genus, Tliltocatl. This reclassification was based on molecular and morphological data. The "red-legged" species, such as B. hamorii and B. smithi, remained in...

No, i mean if you click where it says Google search, it's a link. That's why it's in "orange" instead of black.
