Genus Pterinopelma

Current deals →
New World 1 species

A Brazilian genus best known for an animal that no longer lives in it: the sapphire-blue species that made the name famous was moved to Lasiocyano, taking the fame along, and listings under the old combination still describe that spider.

What remains is a valid genus of Brazilian terrestrials with almost no independent trade presence: New World animals with urticating hairs, keeping to moderate humidity, substrate depth, and unremarkable temperament by the thin record. Brazilian export closure means captive descent only, and the founder base behind the remaining species is narrow.

The page earns its keep as a translation stop: a listing here is either the famous blue under its outdated name, in which case the Lasiocyano page holds the market, or one of the obscure remainders, in which case the blank-spot rules apply in full.
