Genus Lyrognathus

Montane Asian tarantulas out of Malaysia and northeast India, and a genus that almost nobody keeps relative to how available it periodically is.

Moderate size, fossorial, and from elevation, which again means cooler than the tropical default. L. giannisposatoi and L. robustus circulate. Old world temperament, no urticating hairs, and a threat display they will use.

Supply is a mix of European breeding and irregular Malaysian material, and demand is thin. This is a genus where nothing about the market is driven by the animal's qualities. It is driven by obscurity, and that produces a durable discount rather than a temporary one.
