          No, those on your thorax should be enough. Posted 3 years ago

The Ecuadorian Brown Velvet Tarantula

The theraphosid Megaphobema velvetosoma was described in 1995 from Ecuador. It is very closely related to Megaphobema robustu (Ausserer, 1875) but differs by velvet-brown (female) respectively brown-blackish (male) colour. The ventral tibia spur bears a long spine spine-shaped process. the spermatheca is regurarly rounded.
