[QUOTE="Ceratogyrus, post: 23207, member: 371"] Messing around with an app on the iPad. :) Comparison between a few Ceratogyrus species. The top one is what lots of people in the hobby have as sanderi. The spider is found outside of the known sanderi range though, so it's either a variation of sanderi or else it is possibly a new species. It has a double band underneath the abdomen, but I have seen them with a single band before. The horn protrudes above the carapace, but is much smaller than brachycephalus' horn. Currently referred to as Ceratogyrus "hobby form" The second one is sanderi according to R.Gallon's last revision. It has a double subabdominal band and a sunken rectangular horn that does not protrude above the carapace. This one is from Zimbabwe, but the sanderi from Namibia have a single band and a slightly raised horn. The 3rd one is C.brachycephalus. Always has a single band and large protruding horn that extends almost to the eyes. Seems there is a lot of confusion in the hobby when it comes to these 3 species.
