Remarks. The species is fairly similar to Amynthas zenkevichi ( Thai, 1982) , but distinguished by having three pairs of spermathecal pores and shorter prostatic duct ( Do et al. 1995). Blakemore (2007a, 2008b) considered it as " species inquirenda ". Material was re-examined and absence of male copulatory pouches and hence placement of the species in Amynthas is confirmed here.
