It is quite difficult to actually do this. But you can always start this by creating a new topic and posting the specimen in question. State the obvious - like you bought it as Hysterocrates gigas then we can all brainstorm our ideas and try and come up with an answer.

That way we all get to learn and then use the same procedure for the next species.

Photo's are not the most accurate method for defining what it is, you need to study the spider under a microscope and look for certain characteristics of said species.

If the species has not been described then we as normally people have no chance in heck to tell what species it.
So we have to wait for the people who are busy with the studies to tell us what it is and then it won't really reflect to use as we might have something completely different to what they have classified.

I don't think it is something we should worry about just yet, the hobby is all ready so messed up with the imports coming in and the spiders we have now.
It not really going to change anything, you would be a drop in the ocean, you would need every one across the whole world to want and do the same thing to make a difference.

Here is a start of what to learn and look for :

Learn the anatomy of the species: www.tarantulas.co.za/forum/know-your-tar...arantula-anatomy-101

More advanced anatomy: www.tarantulas.co.za/forum/taxonomy-and-...8746-taxo-type-stuff

Now specific to Hysterocrates gigas :

Pocock, R.I. 1897.
On the spiders of the suborder Mygalomorphae from the Ethiopian Region, contained in the collection of the British Museum.
Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London 1897: 724-774 [p. 762].
Here is the link to the paper : archive.org/stream/cbarchive_123095_onth...97#page/n39/mode/2up

That is a start for you. Read these articles and let us know what you find.

It starts with one,yourself never put yourself as not that important. Thanks Dimitri I will do that, might be a tiny step towards the right direction. Also cascade, I'd value your input any day no matter if its only you. It always starts small, even a storm.
