Hello
I read that,it was back in 2008,recently a photo was added of the H.Schmidti dark form. Also,it was mentioned it is rarely seen. I have taken another step,I am sending fotos of the specimen/Spermatheca to Stefan Phalagorn.

That is my actual specimen, sexed female.

This is the same specimen,no light or flashlight only normal light hence the lower quality clearly it is now visible how dark it looks. I have my own suspicions,and it isn't Haplopelma Schmidti.

Hello
I will give you a hint what it is,dark and only haplopelma with white hairs on the sides of the Chelicerae.

Okay look and you will see the white hair if you zoom in on that last photo,it is Haplopelma Hainanum Chinese bird spider the tarantula with the largest peptide count in its venom.

Only that haplopelma has the white hair there,under normal light black etc flash or flash light blueish.

It is a beautiful tarantula,but not one to be disrespected. Not like the OBT at all,as full of attitude but a definite harder punch in venom.

Hello
Some common names were given to multiple specimens,that is why scientific stays the best.
