[QUOTE="Opaul8, post: 184582, member: 34180"] Ah thats a fair enough comment and so it may seem as such. Just the spiders I have are H. Hercules absolutely no question about it.. a distant cousin maybe, but all its lineage is from the holotypes line no question. I know there is the d.n.a stuff and I will get a moult to a taxonomist once I have one. I did the research as I know whitey exotics had a Hercules, but it wasn't confirmed as such and mine were the same so me being me had to do my own research and why not! And what a b*** ache lol I think if his specimen was compared to the holotype and new revisions, this would be why and my research shows this. If it was through a d.n.a test then I can't explain this other than it was from completely different habitat. All in all these spiders have on top of all measurement matches to its description two very unique visual features present on them also that was described and highlighted by Po****, now no longer seen on the holotype. I just wanted to give my spiders "a fair crack of the whip" at the taxonomists and highlight things that may even not be known to them about this species! I guess I will wait to see what happens, just sometimes you have to go with your instincts on these things, do your own research and make some incredible discoveries! Yea, I have sent all this to two taxonomists. I doubt it will be published, but I'm just highlighting some fascinating discoveries that po**** wanted us to find. So take it up with him! Lol Well its all there my friend.. you can see how short its back legs are without even measuring if leg 4 execeeds 1 by half its tarsus, patella and tibia of fourth shorter than 1st and everything else.
