Amfractus dentefaber has only been recorded from Yunnan province in China.[2][1]
Life style
The species was found in the forest of the mountains of Longling County at 2010 m.[1]
Etymology
The genus name is a variation of Latin anfractus "winding", referring to the spiral embolus in the male palp.[1] The specific name is from Latin dentefaber "spike", referring to the cephalic region with spike-like long thick macrosetae in the male.[1] The authors of the original description used "dentefaberis" as the epitheton, but corrected it to "dentefaber" in a subsequent publication.[2]
