the captain "hooks" was created by Ashley

I was trying to find a list of what species males have tibial hooks/spurs, and I could not find much on the net. So I was thinking if we all could make a combined effort to come up with a list of species that do and don't have the tibial hooks. So for those like me that find it hard to sex T's by spermathecae, and Epiandrous fusillae. This info won't help sexing in a lot of cases, it will for some.

Have Tibial Hooks/spurs
.Avicularia avicularia Pinktoe(vortex)
.B.Vagans(vortex)
.L.paryhaybana(vortex)
.G. Rosea(Ruff)
.
.
In the cases where the males don't have the hooks I bet the breeders/Veterans on here can help out the most.

Don't Have Tibial Hooks/Spurs

As I get replies I can edit them into here, and I'll will post you name next to the species so you get credit for your contribution(s)
Also Suggestions Are Welcome

There are two exclusive Mature Male changes that you can look for. If there is no tibial spur to check for his maturity he will definitely have palpal bulbs.
Often referred to as "boxing gloves"
