Keys
Remarks
- Systematics: This species is similar to A. mischocarpi especially in having elongated lateral setae on the prosoma, metathorax and basal three abdominal segments. It is, however, uniquely characterized by the disc pores associated with each posterior spiracle arranged in a single transverse row lateral to the spiracle. It is characterized by the very prominent prosoma which makes the body appear strongly constricted in the metathorax. (Takagi, 2013)
- Structure: Full-grown adult female 1530 µm long at maximum, pygidium about 260-325 µm long, and litle wider than long. Strongly sclerotized especially on prosoma and metathorax, and also on basal 2 abdominal segments, except on median area. (Takagi, 2013)
- General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration in Takagi, 2013.
