Pamphobeteus sp. platyomma known also by the common name Brazilian Pink Bloom Tarantula, is a New World terrestrial, opportunistic bird spider that can be found in Ecuador and Brazil. There are many Pamphobeteus sp in the hobby including P. sp. Ecuador,  Ecuador II, Tigris, antinous, machala, and Solaris to name a few.

They are found throughout north western parts of South America with some being undescribed and labeled by the location they're endemic to. This is a medium-fast growing tarantula reaching up to a 7-8in leg span. These Ts put on size fast and there are noticeable size differences after a molt. Females can live over 20 years, but males usually live no more than 5 years or so at most.

There is sexual dimorphism in these Tarantulas with the males producing bright pink and purple colors with their ultimate molt with females mostly being dark grey, brown or black.

2. Juvenile (2cm~7cm)
3. Sub adult (7cm~10cm)
4. Adult (10cm~12cm+)
