Remarks.
Do (1994) noted variations in the position of genital markings in the spermathecal region and similarities to
Amynthas aspergillum
(
Perrier, 1872
)
in the pattern of genital markings in male region.
Blakemore (2007a
,
2008b
) considered it as "
species inquirenda
". Material was re-examined and absence of male copulatory pouches and hence placement of the species in
Amynthas
is confirmed here.
