Ceratogyrus bechuanicus, Ceratogyrus darlingi, or Ceratogyrus marshalli??

Mature female, but who is she??
I would need to see a photo of her at side view to better determine the species through horn curvature, which is difficult when comparing a couple of the species, but I'm going to say that I'm fairly certain that this is a mature female C. darlingi. Keep in mind that Ceratogyrus bechuanicus and Ceratogyrus darlingi designate a label for the same tarantula. C. darlingi happens to be the preferred senior synonym reverted back to after previously being altered C. bechuanicus (junior synonym) a few times.

Refer here to clarify: http://research.amnh.org/iz/spiders/catalog/THERAPHOSIDAE.html
 
That's C.darlingi 100%
Just a slight correction Balvala, C.bechuanicus is the junior synonym for C.darlingi as darlingi is the correct name.
 
Yes. I'm aware that C. darlingi is the correct, current label. I switched the titles around by accident and meant to say "senior" instead of "junior," but I was too tired to realize that I made a mistake, so I thank you for that. C. darlingi was the original scientific nomenclature, altered and then corrected once more to revert back with the senior synonym of the species.
