Architis amazonica (Simon 1898) Simon 1898

Architis amazonica (Simon 1898) comb. nov.

Figs 16–17

Nilus amazonicus Simon 1898 b: 17 (description of juvenile; holotype, immature female, Brazil, Teffe, de Mathan leg., MNHN 2598, examined).

PS 5.2, OL 5.9; chelicerae with 3 promarginal and 3 retromarginal teeth. Based on the distribution of Nilus, it is doubtful that this species belongs in Nilus. Previously, the immature female could not be assigned to an existing genus. Santos (in litt.) stated that it could be a representative of the genera Architis Simon 1898 or Thaumasia Perty 1833. Cruz da Silva (in litt.) clearly recognised it as member of Architis. Most striking feature is the elongated opisthosoma with the distinct folium pattern (Figs 16–17).
