Remarks.

Mygale ochracea was described as having an overall ocher coloration and a reddish abdomen. The specimen was found around Rio Negro River, in the province of the same name. At this time, the Rio Negro Province comprised the cities Barcelos and Vila da Barra do Rio Negro, now the city of Manaus, capital of the state of Amazonas (Instituto Histório e Geográfico Brasileiro in Spix and Martius 1823). The aviculariine species that fit Perty’s illustration and that occur in that area are Avicularia avicularia and Avicularia juruensis . However, based in Perty’s description it is not possible to determine Avicularia ochracea identity. Thus, we considered Avicularia ochracea (Perty, 1833) nomen dubium.
