Remarks. The species is fairly similar to Amynthas zenkevichi (Thai, 1982), but distinguished by having three pairs of spermathecal pores and shorter prostatic duct (Do et al. 1995). 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.
