Exoticplantsplus is selling N. Truncata x Bongso. The traps are truncata-like and almost black. Jundging by the parentage it should be as easy to grow as N. x ventrata. Small ones are on sale for $30, big ones are a bit more.
 
the link is the one i saw.

still looks like a dead pitcher that sustained its from

his is the same thing but the pic was taken better. its more of a very dark red and very dark purple. if you look at a dead pitcher you will see there is a VERY noticeable difference. ask tony for a full pic. he'll show you its not simply a dead pitcher but rather one of the most "evil" looking nep.

It is difficult to get an accurate picture with the digital camera. It tends to lighten the color and make it look more purple than it really is
 
I took a new picture today with a white paper behind it .. I fiddled with the brightness as best I could to get it to look like the actual plant. This photo doesn't have the sun glare on the pitcher at least.
