This specimen is even more than beautiful.
Last time she moulted, on the 19th of April, she had a flashing blue color on the legs, and a greenish shine on the femurs.
I sended some skins over to the german taxonomist Volker von Wirth, and he coul'd tell me that it is an undescribed Haplopelma sp.
It is closely related to Haplopelma lividum, and might even be a sub-species
According to Volker, this is the species that is mainly sold as Haplopelma sp. "longipedem"
At the moment I have an adult male of this species :)
