    There are both "specs" in the hobby here, the Paraguayan form seems to be (on my own observations) the most common in peoples collections.

    Claudios' name is one i've not heard for a while, is he still involved primarily with Acanthoscurria taxonomics?, i was advised to contact him in the past (mid to late 90's ?) for information regarding some info i needed on this genus.

      He is still involved with tarantulas but not as much as he used to be. Maybe he just got tired of taxonomics as it's a never-ending work! I think he lost enthusiasm over the past few years. I wish he would get into it again though, he is a very good person and friend and knows a lot about tarantulas.

            thanks for those amazing pics, Patricio...if they are becoming that badly rare in the wild, it's definitely a sad state of affairs...
            i have a couple aureostriata, i think one is what you refer to as real (a gift from Colin!) and another i'm not sure yet.
            that monster female has to be the nicest example i've ever seen though...RIP indeed!

              I'm sure (and hope) they are out there... somewhere, but they are quite rare and difficult to find.
              As I travel often to the Chaco area, some day I know I will find this amazing animal and hopefully breed them in captivity.

                More from Chaco

                Acanthoscurria sp. ''musculosa'' . I've found several burrows in a night club parking lot and around a gas station. They were in pretty bad shape. This is a grassland medium size Acanthoscurria sp.
                I also found one juvenile in a kindergarten backyard in a pretty big city, and there were supposed to be more, even adults...which I wasn't lucky to find.
