Avicularia hirsutissima (C. L. Koch, 1842), nomen dubium

Mygale hirsutissima C. L. Koch, 1842: 76, fig. 738; Petrunkevitch 1911: 49 (under Avicularia avicularia ); Roewer 1942: 254 (under Avicularia avicularia ); Bonnet 1955: 829 (under Avicularia avicularia ); World Spider Catalog 2016 (under Avicularia avicularia ).

Remarks.

The drawn probably represents a specimen of Avicularia since it has well-developed scopula and the anterior row of eyes procurve. However, it is not possible to establish its identity without examining the type. Herein, we removed it from the synonymy with Avicularia avicularia established by Petrunkevitch (1911) and we consider Avicularia hirsutissima (C. L. Koch, 1842) nomen dubium.
