Looks just like a bloody regalis to me but from Sri Lanka rather than India. Anyway -

Very interesting article. Wonder if there was any live specimens collected for control - breeding. To see if there are any other indications if the new Pokie is indeed a new species. Then again it only caught the attention of the research group in 2009, so hopefully we will have more information in the future. Very interesting article indeed. Good to see Andrew Smith is also now on the "TheBTS" comity. Finally
Reply from Rick West after I asked about Poecilotheria subfusca
"Sorry, I have no clue as that's not my area of study, right now. I've heard a German biologist is working
on the Poecilotheria spp. Eventually, my colleague and I will get to them ... but not for a few years." Rick West
