Help me identify.

This T was at a family owned pet shop. Owner swore it to be (white knee) A. Geniculata but she looks to me to be a (Brazilian black and white) Nhandu Coloratovillosus. It’s about 4 inches. Thought?

Heres a juvenile female A. geniculata...shes about 4". Your photos seam to lack natural light and seam blurry. It may just be my phone though...idk. You may be right though.

Yes! Those are awesome photos. She does not have those distinct stripes on her knees. Thank you for the photos and help.

Yeah, definitely not A. geniculata - Also, I'm pretty sure that @Arachnoclown mentioned your photos lacking the natural light and being a tad blurry mostly because when identifying species it's always good to see sharp, natural colours to avoid mistakes that washed up or wrong showing tones may cause

Anyway, if the pet store owner was using only common names like "the Brazilian white-knee" and "the Brazilian black and white", it wouldn't be surprising that they just happened to label it wrong (maybe even when they got it since I don't know which vendor the T is originally from)... I mean, yours has white knees while genics have stripes, lol.

This is the main reason why we advice everyone here to use scientific names. Common names get easily mixed up.

The pet store had her labeled as “fuzzy T” LOL

I think you are on the right tracks with Nhandu Coloratovillosus. Nhandu chromatus often goes by the common name of 'white knee' but the carapace is not greyish and no prominent red hairs from what I can see so not a chromatus.
Deffo not a genic so I would say Nhandu Coloratovillosus based on the photos.
Below is pic of one of my genics to show how distinct the leg markings are and how the white also runs down the length of the leg and not a distinct band like the one you have shared.

the pet store should be ashamed....LOL. everyone knows a fuzzy T is a Tliltocatl albopilosum (native form)....PMSL.
