X. immanis - long hair / short hair

[Michael Olsinia]

I have read a couple of times about there being two forms of X. immanis in the hobby, a long haired one and a short haired one. I think they are from different collection sites? Anyway, I'm looking for as much information as anyone can give me on the two forms. Here are some pics of my female, can anyone confirm that she is indeed the long haired form, and can anyone post pictures of their own immanis? Would be nice to have pics of both forms to compare.

First pics, showing the long hair on leg III




Second set, showing leg IV




I've circled what I think are the features that would define this as the long haired variety. Can anyone confirm?
Thanks

Yes, it certainly looks like the long hair form to me.
I've attached a picture taken from Dirk Weinmann's collection where he had several specimens for comparason.
It's not the best pic but you get the idea (note the femur on leg III).

Thanks for the reply Guy. Has anyone got photos of the short haired form for comparison?
