Lol sorry, let me clarify. When the American Aphonopelma ssp were reworked in 2016, they were broken up into species groups. The Paloma species group is home to 12 of the smallest species, including A. icenoglei. That group is pretty much the dwarf Aphonopelmas, but there are a few smaller species around.
