The smaller avicularia have rounded body and rostrum, but distinct, dorsally sway- backed appearance because of the curva- ture of both. The larger avicularia have a more elongated, sway-backed profile, with a diagonal line of cryptocyst demarcating the two sections. The inner body portion is elongate and shallowly convex dorsally; the outer portion a shorter, higher convex- ity with sharply down-curved beak, deeply pigmented at its tip. Avicularia are at- tached to a short peduncle cushion, which is positioned proximally on the outer side.
