Pamphobeteus cf antinous 'Big Black' (Big Black Birdeater)

There have been numerous Peruvian/Bolivian tarantulas brought into the hobby under the name antinous. These include the steely blue, lightning blue, and even arana pollito. It is uncertain whether these are all unique species or synonymous. This particular bloodline is labeled c.f. antinous 'Big Black', Pamphobeteus sp 'Big Black', or Pamphobeteus c.f. antinous 'Peru', to distinguish from other groups of antinous from unknown locales. It is claimed to be the largest growing Pamphobeteus.
