**In our recent shipment from West Africa, we received both Heteroscodra and Stromatopelma. These field-collected animals were never labeled, and while adults are easy to distinguish, we have many which are young and difficult to identify. Regrettably, we can only offer these without 100% identification. We have exercised our best judgement to offer identification. We feel confident in the 3"+ specimens as labeled correctly.
We have found a resource (Gallon, 2012), which clarifies the morphological differences between the two genera:
"The holotype female of Scodra pachypoda lacks
stridulatory organs and leg spines, has a reduced
number of labial cuspules (34), a deep sub-circular
fovea, laterally well-developed tarsal and metatarsal
scopulae on legs I–II, unmodified leg IV, black dorsal
markings on the tarsi and metatarsi, dorsal abdominal
markings and paired spermathecae. For these reasons it
belongs within the genus Stromatopelma (see cladogram
in Gallon, 2003)."
