Davus pentaloris

Worth a read - Gabriel, R. 2016. Revised taxonomic placement of the species in the Central American genera Davus O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1892, Metriopelma Becker, 1878, and Schizopelma F. O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1897, with comments on species in related genera (Araneae: Theraphosidae). Arachnology. 17 (2), 61–92

@plessey is right. Used to be Cyclosternum pentalore, now Davus pentaloris. WSC shows Davus was removed form Cyclosternum this year.

Aren't these two diff species now in the same genus? How can you tell them apart, I have heard one described as the doppelganger of the other?
Davus pentalore Guatemalan tiger rump
Davus fasciatus Costa Rican tiger rump

Have a click on my last post. They are quite different.

Changed it to D. fasciatum if i'm reading the PDF from Plessy correctly back in 2005. I can't tell any difference in the coloring on either the D. fasciatum or the pentaloris from this document, abdomen and thorax are the same unless i'm missing something. It's the palps and spermatheca that are different. I did read a thread somewhere that the majority in the hobby are the pentaloris, fasciatum are supposedly rare.

Real fasciatus have a black carapace and different abdominal markings as seen on pages 72 and 74.

That's what I thought. He claimed to b knowledgeable and I'm not too familiar.
Thx for the info.

I clicked ur post and can easily see the differences. Thx

I may still buy. I would be getting the D pentaloris and a Phlogius crassipes young adult female, both with their bio bubbles for $100 total
