This means it is no longer recognized as a valid species within the genus Lasiodora.To determine what species you have, you may need to re-identify your tarantula. This requires examining its physical characteristics (e.g., size, coloration, urticating hair type) and possibly consulting an expert or using molecular tools. It could belong to another species within the genus Lasiodora or even a different genus entirely, such as Vitalius or Nhandu, which have undergone reclassifications.</blockquote>
