These two were purchased from a dealer at a show.
#1 of them was marked C. sellatus
#2 had C. portoricae as a label... umm, don't think so.


They both look to be the same sp. to my untrained eye.
#1 has a leg span of 2"

Anyone want to take a stab?

Mystery T #1




Mystery T #2

anybody?

Holothele sp?

the first might be a cyriocosmus and so might the second...one thing is that it does not look like cyrtopholis [spelling?]

That's the reason as to my confusion.
I am nearly certain they are not Cyriocosmus as they both lack features that might determine this genus, and they both are larger, far larger than any Cyrio at juvenile level.

Cyrtopholis might have been a little more acceptable of me, but I can't seem to find good info on this genus, none of the images seem to even resemble coloration (I know, two big no-no's to id) found on these individuals, the second one molted and looks just like the first one.

Orange carapace, semi-blueish legs and tons of setae on the last pair of legs.

Gonna have to wait for them to grow more methinks.

sellatus is a 'big' cyriocosmus

Isn't sp. Bolivia considered the "largest"?
I have a couple of C. sellatus, and what this lacks is the heart shape spot on the abdomen, as well as pretty dark setae covering the rest of the abdomen.

The C. sellatus I own look just like the one in tis pic:
