The Chilean rose tarantula (Grammostola rosea), also known as the rose hair tarantula, the Chilean fire tarantula, or the Chilean red-haired tarantula (depending on the color morph), is probably the most common species of tarantula available in American and European pet stores today, due to the large number of wild-caught specimens exported cheaply from their native Chile into the pet trade.
Grammostola is a genus of South American tarantulas that was first described in text by Eugène Louis Simon in 1892. [5] These medium- to large-sized spiders are native to tropical South America, and are usually brown in color, with pinkish or orangish-red hairs.

On the other hand, to say something like "Grammostola porteri and Grammostola rosea are both called the Chilean rose tarantula" needs just two sources, one for each name. And we already have them, since a pet trade site is, by definition, a reliable source for what English name is given to a species in the pet trade.
