Need Help with ID Please ;)

Hi all hope your all well,

Ok i've had this T now for two month's and he's a mature male when i bought him i was told that he was a Thai Black Tarantula, now i dont know if he has a Scientific name so thats not a good start but when i went searching online for myself i found that this T looked nothing like a Thai Black Tarantula and that a Thai Black Tarantula is infact a Haplopelma minax ,so the shop 'may' be wrong about this one.Now i do keep him at the same climate as my other Asian T's 75-85% humidity :Temp 24-26c.

Hope the photo's are ok





Thanks all .

Haplopelma albostriatum? or maybe lividum?

Crap with haplopelma so don't quote me on it

Sorry but i have too quote you both (ElaiRs,SpiderGirl)
Ok first of I looked up on some info about the Phormictopus cancerides (male) but sorry to say no joy the male has a type of purple shade were as my one is pure black with white strip's on his knees.But thank you very much for your help it was well needed plus the P.cancerides look's nice

Now SpiderGirl I have too say I think you may have hit this one on the head I did manage to find the sp and it was the perfect match so thank you for your help i finaly have a name plus it might be the resone to why he's so defensive .

Again thank you both .

It looks like a Haplopelma albostriatum to me.

O yes 110%,when I first found some photo's I brought my laptop over to my T bar I then studyed them both very close and it is a perfect match .but I do feel sorry for this guy because he has one leg missing and no girlfriend .
