Brachypelma ruhnaui (Schmidt, 1992) has been synonymised in the following paper:
Locht, A., F. Medina, R. Rojo & I. Vázquez. 2005: Una nueva especie de tarántula del género Aphonopelma Pocock 1901 (Araneae, Theraphosidae, Theraphosinae) de México con notas sobre el género Brachypelma Simon 1891. Bol. Soc. ent. Aragonesa 37: 105-108.
The correct name for this species is now:
Brachypelma albiceps (Pocock, 1903)
