Geographical Distribution ( Fig. 11). At present, this species is known only from the type locality in southeastern Peru´.
Specimens Examined. Holotype male, PERÚ, Madre de Dios, 30 air km SW Puerto Maldonado, Rio Tambopata Res. , 12 ° 50 ̍ S, 69 ° 20 ̍ W, 290m, J.B. Heppner, 6–10Nov1979, MUSM, * ADP 56238.
Etymology. One of my dedicated research assistants on trips to Tambopata in the early 1980’s was Linda Sims, and it is for her that this species is named, lindae .
Note. The holotype described here as A. lindae was included in Erwin (1982b) under A. platyscelis , however, upon reexamination it is clearly not that species.
