[QUOTE="Martin Oosthuysen, post: 38379, member: 1070"] 100% correct,but in this case the specific specimen the person asked about did have these. Obviously not all will have these,thus each possible sexing should be handled per situation. I still believe molt sexing to be the best,unless a mature male was purchased showing the obvious signs. As for buying from a pet store,in general they do not know what they are doing. It is a money making situation,even if the person knew I highly doubt they would have told the person that purchased it. Till a person feels well equipped do not buy from them,I personally buy from reputable breeders. I also try buying from sling size way more fun to see them grow. Below is a list of species that LACK tibial spurs in mature males. The list is alphabetical by Genus with Species lacking tibial spurs listed below their Genus. Genus Annandaliella: pectinifera travencorica Genus Anoploscelus: celeripes lesserti Genus Augacephalus: junodi Genus Chilobrachys: andersoni annandalei assamensis bicolor brevipes dyscolus femoralis fimbriatus flavopilosus fumosus hardwicki huahini hubei jingzhao nitelinus oculatus paviei pococki sericeus soricinus stridulans thorelli tschankoensis Genus Citharischius: crawshayi stridulantissimus Genus Coremiocnemis: cunicularia tropix valida Genus Encyocratella: olivacea Genus Euphrictus: spinosus squamosus Genus Heteroscodra: crassipes crassipes latithorax maculata pachypoda Genus Heterothele: affinis atropha caudicula darcheni decemnotata gabonensis honesta hullwilliamsi ogbunikia spinipes villosella Genus Hysterocrates: affinis affinis angusticeps apostolicus crassipes didymus ederi gigas greeffi greshoffi haasi hercules laticeps maximus ochraceus robustus robustus sulcifer scepticus sjostedti spellenbergi vosseleri weileri Genus schnocolus: algericus andalusiacus decoratus fasciculatus fuscostriatus hancocki holosericeus jerusalemensis jickelii khasiensis maroccanus mogadorensis numidus rubropilosus syriacus tomentosus triangulifer tripolitanus tunetanus valentinus Genus Lyrognathus: crotalus pugnax robustus saltator Genus Metriopelma: breyeri coloratum drymusetes familiare ledezmae spinolosum variegata velox zebratum Genus Nhandu: carapoensis Genus Orphnaecus: pellitus Genus Pachistopelma (they do possess a shield of spines): concolor rufonigrim Genus Phlogiellus: aper atriceps baeri bicolor brevipes inermis insularis nebulosus ornatus subarmatus subinermis Genus Phoneyusa: antilope belandana bettoni bidentata bidentata ituriensis bouvieri buettneri celerierae chevalieri cultridens efuliensis elephantiasis gabonica giltayi gracilipes gregori lesserti manicata minima mutica nigroventris principium rufa rutilata westi Genus Phormingochilus: everetti fuchsi tigrinus Genus Plesiophrictus: Some males such as blatteri and madraspatanus have spurs - it is unknown which species do not possess spurs. Genus Poecilotheria: fasciata formosa hanumavilasumica metallica miranda ornata pederseni pococki regalis rufilata smithi striata subfusca uniformis Genus Selenocosmia: arndsti aruana compta crassipes deliana dichromata effera fuliginea hasselti hirtipes honesta imbellis insignis insulana javanensis javanensis brachyplectra javanensis dolichoplectra javanensis fulva javanensis sumatrana kovariki kulluensis lanceolata lanipes lyra mittmannae obscura orophila papuana peerboomi pritami raciborskii samarae similis stirlingi strenua strubelli subvulpina sutherlandi tahanensis valida Genus Selenotholus: foelschei Genus Selenotypus: plumipes Genus Sericopelma: commune dota fallax ferrugineum generala immensum melanotarsum rubronitens silvicola striatum upala Genus Stromatopelma: batesi calceatum calceatum griseipes fumigatum satanus Genus Theraphosa: blondi Genus Thrigmopoeus: insignis truculentus Please Note: Original Genus List - Journal of the British Tarantula Society – ISSN 0962-449X May 2005, Vol. 20 No. 3 page 81 - A listing of male theraphosids which lack tibial apophyses by L.K.
