Message: <blockquote data-quote="m0lsx" data-source="post: 160381" data-attributes="member: 29323">Whilst at Bedford a few weeks ago I brought a  Brachypelma angustum  from a well known dealer there. Yet online information suggests that that  in 1980 it was described as Sericopelma angustum by <a href="https://www.tarantupedia.com/theraphosinae/sericopelma/carlos-e-valerio" target="_blank">Carlos E. Valerio</a>. Wiki which is not the best source for factual infomation, also suggests that the T's sold as Brachypelma angustum since the early 1990's may not be Sericopelma angustum. To confuse me even more.Is there any logical reason  behind these T's being sold as a Brachypelma & not as a Sericopelm?</blockquote>
