I like Nhandu as a name. Easy to say and remember.
I feel you, that’s one of the easier ones. But Vitalius isn’t that bad. Looking at you Poecilotheria and Pterinochilus.
Nhandu chromatus is still a Synonym … but sadly in the worst taxonomic sense. So I try to just stick to the currently accepted name.
The https://wsc.nmbe.ch/ is pretty much the central authority on spider taxonomy (might require an account but it’s free) and lists all the reclassifications with a link to the relevant papers.
FYI, this species has been reclassified in 2023, it’s now Vitalius chromatus
I’m getting educated today, thanks! The Brachypelma I got almost exactly a year ago with paperwork, so it’s a B. smithi confirmed.
