i do not know very much at all about geophilomorpha

i do know that one looks very interesting

i would love a link to a bigger picture!

PM me your e-mail, I have no link for the big sized picture. It's about 3 to 4 MB.

What about the pictures seen in this thread allows you to "key them out" to be a Pamphobeteus ?

I just would like to know what specific characters you're looking at.... especially since these spiders weren't found in "NE Peru".

Thanks for the info Todd and Eric,

As for the location, more specific, i found a "colony" on the crossing of the Rio Negro and the Amazon river.
This point of the amazon is somewhere around 1000 miles distance from the peruvian border.

The largest specimens i saw where about 6,5", didn't see larger ones. Maybe coincidense i didn't see the 8"-ers.
But they do had very long red hairs on the abdomen.

Will a bigger/more detailed picture help?

Looks like a Sericopelma to me, I know at least one species is well known from Brazil. The shape of the carapace is usually more elongate in Megaphobema and I tend to think the backwards arrow pattern is very conspicuous in Pamphos, even WC imports, and that one doesn't seem to show it at all. However, this is all arm waving on my part, an actual specimen and a scope are really necessary for a positive ID.

Awsome Pics! Did you see any Avics on your trip?

Did you take a tour or planned it out by yourself?

I went to a jungle lodge at Rio negro and from there did some jungle trips with a local person who knows the place...

I didn't see Avics there, but i saw lots of Avics in Jungle trips a made in Venezuela.

Here an example:

More pics of these are on my site.
