Paraphysa peruviana Schmidt 2007 nomen dubium
Material examined
Holotype ♀ of Paraphysa peruviana , Peru, deposited at Senckenberg Museum , Frankfurt, examined (only spermathecae).
Remarks
This species was described based on exuviae of a female from Peru, the specimen was not located but the spermatheca (SMF) was examined and is not Paraphysa nor Euathlus (fig. 1 in Schmidt 2007). Although the spermathecal morphology is similar to Thrixopelma , it was impossible to examine other characters to guarantee the transference to this genus. For these reasons the name is of doubtful application and we considered as a nomen dubium.
