Something in the regani complex?

[Evan]

Any ideas?

Supposedly they were collected in northern Brazil near the Peruvian border. They came in as contaminants in a shipment of bitaeniata.

Any help is appreciated.

I can't say what they are for certain, but they look a lot like Römer's "A. sp. Peru-Regani" which is a less colorful form of A. sp. Masken. It might be something new, too. There aren't any regani-group species known from the Brazil/Peru border (Rio Yaviarí).
