Avicularia rapax (Ausserer, 1875), nomen dubium
Eurypelma rapax Ausserer, 1875: 200, pl. 7, fig. 45; Petrunkevitch 1911: 63; 1939: 264; Roewer 1942: 241; Bonnet 1955: 1833.

Remarks.
Ausserer (1875) described a male with two-branched tibial apophysis, and having setae on palpal tibia. It resembles a theraphosine specimen, but Ausserer did not give information on diagnostic characters. Thus, we consider Avicularia rapax (Ausserer, 1875) a nomen dubium.
We failed to find holotypes of both Perty’s species below. However, Perty (1833) drew in detail the legs of these species, showing well-developed scopulae on tarsi and metatarsi, with the spatulated aspect characteristic of aviculariines.
