Andalusian Funnel-Web Spider in Aragon or not?

[indalo]

Hello again  

I am not advanced in the study of Migalomorphae, nor your pictures allows us to watch determined key taxonomic elements around diverse parts of the body, but "if I was looking for an identification", I would look for:

Araneae / Mygalomorphae / Ctenizidae /  Amblyocarenum   ---> 2 iberian species: A. walckenaeri + A. simile (some authors talks about they both, are the same species).

My "personal" opinion:

Amblyocarenum (Cyrtauchenius) walckenaeri

Amblyocarenum Simon, 1892 = Cyrtauchenius Thorell, 1869

Hope it can help.  


By the way, we will be at Oviedo in second half of September at a training course on spiders (Somiedo N. Park). For more information if anyone is interested, please let me know. It is organized by the GIA (Iberian Group of Aracnology).

Hi Jesús

Thanks for the reply, using the two names you gave I have searched the net to find a number of sites cataloging the species but very little in the way of further pics, but we can be sure that the spiders we have been seeing are NOT Andalusian Funnel-Webs!

If anyone knows of a site which catalogues insects with photos It would be good to know.
