Any idea on species?

[John Hunter]

Hi there. Wondered if anyone could hazard a guess at this T.
Just bought from my LPS where it was labelled as "Java birdeater" so not much help in the name.
One of the guys there said it was a Haplopelma sp but hasn't any markings on the abdomen like my H Lividum or H. Minax.
Temperament wise its very Asian, when poked into the tub for the photos it turned round and gave a full threat display rather than running or flicking hairs.
Any ideas would be great thanks.

Its most likely what it was labelled as Java Birdeater - Selenocosmia sp

Cheers

Thank you both.

Mark-I tried google-ing java birdeater but didn't come up with a lot. Now i'm searching Selenocosmia sp i'm finding loads. Thanks for the help.

try Selenocosmia javanensis

but needs a molt, not that any ID by image is 100%
