Orphnaecus pellitus....I think. There's not much info on them. There's only 4 Orphnaecus species and its definitely one of them.
My first thought was orphanacus dichromatus? Only saying that as we have all the other orphanacus but that's the one we are missing from our collection lol...
Apparently have a nasty disposition but I've never come across that with this genus myself :)

There's definitely more than 4 orphanacus in the hobby weather this is due to revision I don't know? We currently have
O. Phillipinus
O. Sp negros
O. Sp cebu
O. So blue panay
O. Sp blue quezon
.. Just need that dichromatus :D
Pellitus should have a reddish brown abdomen from my understanding - leke @Arachnoclown says not much info out there about them :(

I'm new to this hobby just started 1week ago...just found out that these spiders are not deadly to humans and we have lots of them on coconut husk...so we keep a few of them as pets
