( Fig. 11)

Geographical Distribution. The specimen reported from Tambopata, Peru´, in my 1982 revision was based on a misidentification (see A. lindae , below). A. platyscelis is presently known only from the upper Rio Solimoes in Brazil (see Fig. 64).

Notes. A specimen collected by Bates, labelled ‘‘Ega’’ (IRSN) apparently lost its head and prothorax at some point in time. These were subsequently replaced with those of a species of the busqueti group. Thus, the specimen is now a composite, however, its body through which is the pin, that of A. platyscelis , confirms its presence in or around Ega (now Tefe´).
