Hi
There's 5 described species of Lasiodora: http://thebts.co.uk/forums/gallery/index.php?cat=589
and there's also Lasiodorides: http://thebts.co.uk/forums/gallery/index.php?cat=611
I have an 8" female L. klugi, the bulkiest of the Lasiodora genus, which looks very similar to yours. I can't say 100% certain but I'd opt for L. klugi from my experience. It certainly doesn't look like my L. difficils and I agree with the differences you have suggested with L. parahybana.
Of course, IDing a tarantula from a photo is never easy (at least for me) but hopefully someone like Ray Gabriel will give a more accurate indication.

Hi Peter,
Do you happen to have a photo of your L.Klugi lying around? I'd like to see it for comparison. And yes, I do agree that identifying a tarantula through a photo is never easy. In the photos, she looks quite brown when she is actually fairly black. my photos may be slightly over exposed. But still, looking at her in my tank, she still looks way too different from parahybanas.

The plural of genus is genera
I don't have a copy of the paper, so I can't help with the differences.
