Haploclastus psychedelicus (Sanap & Mirza, 2014)
|
Haploclastus psychedelicus, synonym Thrigmopoeus psychedelicus, is a theraphosid spider. It is native to India.[1]
The specific name psychedelicus refers to the word "psychedelia", referring to the adult's bright blue carapace and legs.[2]
H. psychedelicus has a blue metallic tinge to the cephalothorax and legs, and has scattered maxillary setae on the prolateral face of the maxillae. In other species it is C-shaped.[2]
