Platnick says that the unique specie in Perù is Ancylometes amazonicus

 

[Yareus]

Unfortunately Iwe newer seen Ancylometes amazonicus irl, but Iwe seen A rufus, and i think it looks quite like that, as mentioned a male.

Unfortunately I cant find any pictures of Ancylometes amazonicus, to compare with the pictures of The pictures of A rufus Iwe found, so I wont put my head on the block on this one.

From all the Acylomates specimens that I've seen, that looks nothing like A. Rufus.
It's a female indeed. Please refer to this page: http://www.ancylometes.com/ in order to find more information.

Hello Peter,

from Peru actually came 3 Ancylometes species, this specimen is one of the bigger, blackish ones... not rufus I think. Rufus is more brown...

New delivery from HW??
