What are considered to be the biggest Tarantulas, besides the three Theraphosa species?

I believe the Lasiodora parahybana and klugi are up there, but what about Pamphobeteus and Nhandu and Acanthoscurria species?
Africa is a tough country. When the going gets tough, we get going.

Hello Deon,
Usually first mentioned are the theraposas, but I saw the largest spoken of Lasiodora parahybana being a female of 11-12 inches. I would say pamphobeteus would also be up there at 9-10 inches, saw a giant white knee that was 24cm which was weird since most say they max out at around 20-21cm. Let me also say that when it comes to weight the lasiodora klugi should trump the l.parahybana, but for legspan l.parahybana wins. My l.parahybana is already at 8 inches(pre-molt), cant wait to see where she ends. (L.klugi, l.difficilis and pamphobeteus machala are in my collection as well)
