About the "Cyclosternum fasciatum" / "Davus fasciatus" / "Davus pentaloris" stuff, here's some clues from a swiss forum (in german):

Thank you for that link. I have used google translate to get the relevant bit in English
Remarks: According to the World Spider Catalog genus Davus is again considered to be valid and freed from the Synonomyisierung with Cyclosternum. D.pentaloris is traded in the hobby often (fasciatum Cyclosternum) as Davus fasciatus. The species was assigned due to the spermathecae but the type Davus pentaloris, served as a basis of comparison with the sperm bar shape as in Schmidt ready. In D.pentaloris is a rather small permanent tarantula which comes from the dry forests of Guatemala and Mexico. Since this type but is offered from bred for 15 years and precise localities and specific evidence of life are virtually non-existent, it is difficult to give accurate information. In the terrarium, these types hold relatively easily and also grow. The ground should be 10 cm, as this kind also like digging mind.. The substrate should be moistened and every week a little be wetted with water. Hiding from cork or other woods are gladly accepted and consequently used as protection. I could make out no distinct spin behavior and also grave activities comply so far limited. It will often report the speed and startle response of this kind, which I do not can not be said of my animal.
