Avicularia testacea (C. L. Koch, 1841), nomen dubium

Mygale testacea C. L. Koch, 1841: 45, Tab. CCCIII, fig. 719; F. O. Pickard-Cambridge 1896: 741 (under Avicularia avicularia ); World Spider Catalog 2016 (under Avicularia avicularia ).

Remarks.

F. O. Pickard-Cambridge (1896) considered it as a probable synonym of Avicularia avicularia . The specimen drawned by C. L. Koch (1841) resembles a specimen of Avicularia since it has well-developed scopula, anterior row of eyes procurve and long and curved palpal embolus. However, it is not possible to establish its identity without analyze the type. Therefore, herein, we removed it from the synonymy with Avicularia avicularia and consider Avicularia testacea (C. L. Koch, 1841) nomen dubium.
