Systematics: Adult females of A. kurraensis are fairly distinctive due to the dense covering of large 8-shaped pores on the dorsum. However, in addition, this species is characterised by the following combination of character-states: (i) dorsum with three sizes of 8-shaped pores; (ii) large 8-shaped pores abundant on dorsum; (iii) each stigmatic band with 3–5 smallest 8-shaped pores; (iv) each lateral margin of posterior abdominal segments with six large 8-shaped pores; (v) cribriform plates unevenly round, in a transverse line of 7–9 plates on abdominal segment IV; (vi) leg stubs absent; (vii) posterior stigmatic pore bands not bifurcated; (viii) stigmatic pore bands broad and of uniform width, each with more than 200 pores; (ix) small convex closed pores present near each spiracle; (x) multilocular disc-pores in dense bands across all abdominal segments and on each side of metathorax plus a few associated with each spiracle, and (xi) antennae without a cone-like apex but perhaps with a shallow setal cavity.
