  SPECIES. 
  

  

  NOME] 
  

  

  With 
  one 
  exception, 
  A. 
  rufipes 
  from 
  Nicaragua, 
  Central 
  America, 
  

   whose 
  habitat 
  is 
  somewhat 
  doubtful, 
  the 
  species 
  of 
  this 
  genus 
  are 
  found 
  

   only 
  in 
  South 
  America, 
  and 
  are 
  distributed 
  across 
  the 
  continent 
  from 
  

   the 
  Atlantic 
  to 
  the 
  Pacific 
  Ocean. 
  Of 
  the 
  known 
  species 
  A. 
  trivir- 
  

   gatus 
  seems 
  to 
  have 
  the 
  widest 
  distribution, 
  and 
  is 
  found 
  from 
  Guiana
