Koʻpincha adashtiriladi: It is often confused with Brachypelma hamorii, which has very similar colours. The two can be told apart by two brownish pink bands on the chelicerae (the fang-bearing parts), which are present in B. hamorii but absent in B. smithi. Mature males can also be told apart by the shape of the palpal bulb, which is straighter and spoon-shaped in B. smithi.1
