Hey Nome, Steve Nunn says that Phlogiellus no longer exists in Australia, and any spider that was previously deemed Phlogiellus has now been reclassed as Selenocosmia Sp # 2. True Phlogiellus Spp tarantulas are found in Papua New Guinea.

Also, many pet stores that sell "Phlogiellus" spiders are actually 99.9% of the time Coremiocnemis Sp # 3 from Northern Territory.



The above spider is "Kana", a Coremiocnemis Sp # 3 that was sold to a friend of mine as a "Phlogiellus Sp" - Kana is from a beautiful species of mid-sized tarantulas (average size of adults is 12-13cm), they have small electric blue setae under their femurs as shown here: http://www.evoker.net/~swiftrat/tara...cor_3_blue.jpg
