Remarks.

The specimen is not an aviculariine since it has no spatulate scopulae, bears two rounded spermathecae, and has no type II urticating setae (Fig. 224). The type locality, spermathecae morphology (Fig. 223) and presence of urticating setae type III match with the diagnostic characteristics of Thrixopelma species. Thus, we transfer Eurypelma aymara to Thrixopelma , making the new combination Thrixopelma aymara (Chamberlin, 1916) comb. n.
