Default proper name for Nhandu

I have a sling Brazilian B&W
I was wondering if anyone can clear up it correct name.
I've seen them called Nhandu colouratovilosum, N colouratovilosus and N colouratovilosa.
Which one is correct or are they all right?

4 species in Nhandu, its coloratovillosus officially with a change of name (Due to gender of the name) from Coloratovilosum to villosus..
Could be synonymous with Brazilopelma sp.

this is hard to explain without being too knowledgeable about different languages.
The goliath has two scientific names Theraphosa (genus) and blondi (species)
Therapohs-a (a= feminine) apophysis (synonymised from Pseudotheraphosa, i assume it has something to do with Theraphosa being revised from the unused (as far as i know) genus Mygale)
Avicularia - feminine
Cyclostern-um (neutral) fasciatum
Cyriopagop-us (masculine)

If a genus name is male or female then the following species name should be the same. Its a bit more complicated when you take into account revisions, i think revisions techincally are supposed to be changed slightly but most dont seem to for a while (lyrognathus robusta/ lyrognathus robustus).
then there is -i (Theraphosa blond-i) the I signifiies that its named after a person.
Selenocosmia javanen-sis (-sis syas that the species named after a locale.

Im probably wrong but this is my understanding
Its probably just a thread of jargon, but it might help IF its right so if entrepid taxonomists around please let me know, ta
