Amended diagnosis

Females of Neischnocolus amazonica resemble those of N. panamanus by having spermathecal striae converging in an incomplete arc and an inverted L-shaped guard plate. Nonetheless, they differ by having a triangular central area of spermathecae and comparatively more inconspicuous and short spermathecal striae and ventral receptacles (trapezoid central area of spermathecae and conspicuous and large spermathecal striae and ventral receptacles in N. panamanus ; Lapinski et al. 2018: figs 10–14; Pérez-Miles et al. 2019: fig. 5).

Remarks

Pérez-Miles et al. (2008) described N. amazonica based on a female collected at Leticia ( 4.16972° S, 69.94694° W) in November 2005. These coordinates place the type locality between the towns of San Sebastián and Camilo Torres, departamento de Amazonas, Colombia. Upon examination of the holotype’s label, no such coordinates were found. Still, there was other important information about the specimen, the female holotype was collected in 2001 in the surroundings of Instituto Amazónico de Investigaciones (IMANI) (georeferenced using the following coordinates: 4.19360° S, 69.94050° W) (label information available through https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.28447211).
