Mirza in his 2024 paper that established a new genus for it

This species differs from the other 3 species of Theraphosa by having all 8 legs displaying the pink colors on their metatarsus and tarsus as slings and juvies

but we expect this spider to become quite popular in the hobby

Quite possibly the meanest tarantula on the planet

Trichopelma sp. “Orellana” 1/2” Christmas Mirza in his 2024 papersize 1 2 Little is know about this spider. These spiders are a small genus of tarantula usually reaching around 2 inches as adults. They tend to be terrestrials that lay down a good amount of webbing. There are no photos of what this one looks like as an adult. I suspect these came from Orellana Province in Ecuador.
