Avicularia purpurea is a medium-sized aviculariine native to Ecuador, Colombia, and Peru. Like other aviculariines, it is arboreal and has color pattern ontogeny. The spiderlings and juveniles are predominantly black with a metallic green sheen and a central longitudinal black stripe connected by transversal black stripes on each side of the opisthosoma dorsum. Two morphotypes of this species are known: a Northern and a Southern variant. The most common morphotype in the hobby is the Northern variant, seen here. The Southern variant has less intense purple coloration and retains reddish-brown lateral striping on the opisthosoma until maturity. In the hobby, the Southern variant is represented by the stock previously known as Avicularia sp. ‘Colombia’ and Avicularia sp. ‘Ecuador’.

*Edited to add: The removal of the synonymy of Thrigmopoeus psychedelicus from Haploclastus devamatha and the nomen nudum assertion of Haploclastus devamatha was not accepted, this means the species epithet ‘devamatha’ takes precedence due to Haploclastus devamatha being the original binominal the species was described under. The species was transferred from Haploclastus and becomes Cilantica devamatha, rather than Cilantica psychedelicus.

Today, the tarantula hobby is ablaze with the long-overdue description of two species present within the hobby for a decade: Phormingochilus sp. 'rufus' and Cyriopagopus sp. 'hati hati'. However, another publication hot off the press, also published yesterday, has gone completely ignored. One, possibly two, additional hobby species have also seen a reclassification/description.

Phormingochilus sp. ‘rufus’ = Aspinochilus rufus

Cyriopagopus sp. ‘hati hati’ = Phormingochilus hatihati

Thrigmopoeinae sp. ‘cinnamon’ = Cilantica agasthyaensis? (This will need to be confirmed first by an examination of hobby specimens and comparison to this newly described species.

Haploclastus devamatha = Cilantica devamatha

Dolichothele diamantinensis is a small, attractive species native to Minas Gerais, Brazil. It inhabits campo rupestre, an ecoregion characterized by high-alt grasslands, rocky outcrops, and shallow, nutrient-poor soil. The species was named after the type locality, the city of Diamantina, and is only known from that area.

Due to their bright coloration and small size, they have exploded in popularity within the hobby and are a must-have species for many collectors.
