Remarks. Blakemore (2007a, 2008b) considered it as " species inquirenda ". Further examination was not possible because all previously collected material has been lost. However, Do et al. (1995) noted that the species is fairly similar to Amynthas glabrus (Gates, 1932) in male region. Thus, it is unlikely to have copulatory pouches.
