Stichopthalma nourmahal females on ebay

[timmsyrj]

I have just noticed a couple of female stichopthalma nourmahal females listed on eBay and they have bids on them, please not that these are not the species stated as nourmahal is found in North India not in Vietnam as stated with these, it's obviously a mis-identification by the seller who is also selling a pair of stichopthalma uemurai gailai which is also mis-identified as the female is not a specimen of uemurai at all, I think these are either mathilda or eamsei or possibly hybrids?.

Google stichopthalma nourmahal to see the difference, it's quite obvious.

Just a heads up, don't want you getting disappointed, nourmahal is very hard to get hold of.

I spotted them on collectors secret, amathusidae link as I follow this, I've recently started with stichopthalma and have been looking for hard to get species so checked these out.
