@Martin Oosthuysen Thank you for posting that info. I was thinking about the subject the other day and wondered if there was a list anywhere.

I updated my old list here - http://www.tarantulaforum.com/threads/list-of-species-that-lack-tibial-spurs-updated-for-2015.6111/

But of course that was in 2015 so it will be out of date again.
