  • What is the Difference between a.brocklehursti & a.geniculata??

    I have both in my collection and I wondered if there was any difference between them??
    This is my a.geniculata Sorry the photo is blurred she just wouldnt stay still!!

    and this is my a.brocklehursti

    both bought from a reputable source, looking at them side by side they seems to be no difference at all,
    I was hoping somebody could tell me what the difference is between them

    The fine white longitudinal lines on the legs are thicker in captive geniculata than in the other species. Note I'm not talking about the transverse white leg bands here.
    Cheers,

      Hello Richard,

      Can you let us in on some taxonomic differences? I'm always keen on learning something new, and although I'm not so interested in New World theraphosids, it would be good to know how to accurately distinguish these two species.
