Avicularia holmbergi Thorell, 1890, nomen dubium

Avicularia holmbergi Thorell, 1890: 399; F. O. Pickard-Cambridge 1896: 744; Simon 1892: 170; Petrunkevitch 1911: 50; 1939: 287; Mello-Leitão 1923: 377; Roewer 1942: 254; Bonnet 1955: 831; World Spider Catalog 2016.

Remarks.

This species was described in a work on the Indonesian fauna, but type locality was considered uncertain ( Thorell 1890).

We consulted the curator of Arachnoidea Collection in the Natural History Museum of Vienna, where Ausserer’s specimens below were likely deposited. Unfortunately, the types are not there and descriptions do not allow reliable identification of the species.
