I found this contradicting info on arachnoboards:

"Confusingly as I understand it - it's the other way around. The one with the orange fringe (from northern and eastern Borneo and thus from the type area) is H. doriae, whereas the ones without the orange fringe - formerly known in the hobby as H. doriae (from the southern and south-western Borneo and thus not from the type area) are unresolved and thus termed sp. "Kalimantan". Technically speaking this latter one should be termed Haplopelma sp. "Kalimantan" though this might stir some not in the know. The logic is that since H. doriae is the type species for the genus Haplopelma, then these odd bornean guys - with or without the orange fringe - are in fact Haplopelmas, which would in effect as of now make yet another Haplopelma-group, so we should be distinguishing between species belonging in either the minax-group, the schmidti-group or the doriae-group..."

So it seems they got the naming the wrong way around...CONFUSING!!!
