Guys jus wana clarify this issue here.
I was notify that L.Violaceopes now are Cyriopagopus sp "blue" (Singapore Blue)
In the same time, L.Violaceopes are once sold as species similar to Cyriopagopus schioedtei/haplopelma robustum.
Jus wana ask all the T's lover to share out the knowledge to clarify this issue as this will help to determine the specimen especially for buyers who are purchasing "Lampropelma Violaceopes" slings;as some buyer will expect their slings to turn up to be Cyriopagopus sp "blue" or Cyriopagopus schioedtei/haplopelma robustum.Here are some few links regarding this issue.

http://www.venomlist.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=20333 (information from venomlist)

http://www.birdspiders.com/gallery/search.php?dosearch=true&field=desc&query=cyriopagopus&x=0&y=0&=Search+%BB (search results of cyriopagopus which they include L.Violaceopes)

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1067387 (example of seller tagging Cyriopagopus sp "blue" and Lampropelma Violaceopes in their sales thread)


All opinions are most welcome, hope this confusion will be clarify soon and make future sales/trade/identification more clear.

Thank you
