Birdspider spp.?

Hello Erwin,

I think it is......, maybe it is...... You know these talks. It´s because you told no more data about the spider.
What´s about the body length?
Is it a adult one?
Can you tell more about the place you found it?
Southern Panama?
Border to Columbia? Than I have an Idea.

Than it could be Theraphosa blondi, if it is a giant, which shall live also in the border region. Normaly more south and east. It also could be a kind of Pamphobeteus wich is common for Columbia and regions of southern Panama. But where, I cannot say.
I dont have much Info´s about them because they are not so much interesting for me. I prefer the Mexican kinds of Tarantulas.

The other Idea I have is, the since the first description unknown Brachypelma embrites. So if you can tell us more about the spider body would be very interessting to me.

Norman I. Platnick writes about embrites in his topically
"The World Spider Catalog, Version 9.0"
Brachypelma embrithes (Chamberlin & Ivie, 1936).............Panama
Eurypelma e. Chamberlin & Ivie, 1936a: 7 (Df).

To say exactly what species it is, we need the origin!!! I do not think that it is blondi! The carapace is not round enough for Theraphosa! Maybe a species of the genus Pamphobeteus. To identify a species from a photo is very often impossible!

Hi, maybe it is a species of the genus Sericopelma that is widespread throughout Costa Rica and Panama. Females are often dull-brown in colour or blackish. It is highly likely possible, that specimens also occur on adjacent islands.
