'Colombia' is rumored to be found in the rainforests along the Pacific coast of Colombia. This diminutive beauty tops out at less than four inches in diagonal leg span. Their size is no measure of their value, however, because of their metallic golden and purple coloration. The Theraphosid Research Team, on Arachnoboards.com, made a good case for why this species will be reassigned to the genus Spinosatibiapalpus when it finally gets properly taxonified.  If you look them up on Arachnoboards, I think you will find that they wrote an interesting article on the subject.[ATTACH=full]77200[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]77201[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]77202[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
