Actually, de largest of the genus is Avicularia bicegoi, not braunshauseni, according to the book by Günter Schimidt, "Vogelspinnen".

I thought the Iquitos form of "Amazonica" was actually what is normally referred to as sp. Peru Purple and was due to people trying to pass them off as Amazonica's in the pet trade.

Also, Metallica sp Green get pretty large.
