Remarks
- Systematics: This species differs from the other ones of the group in the shape of the median trullae, which are not elongated. The marginal macroducts have a tendency to be elongated, and those occurring just laterally to the median trullae surpass the trullae in height, extending much anteriorly. In this character it is similar to A. tenuis. (Takagi, 2016)
- Structure: Adult female body at full growth stout, obpyriform in rough outline; prosoma well swollen and broadened, much wider than metathorax, broadly rounded along free margin. (Takagi, 2016)
- Biology: Females occurring on twigs. (Takagi, 2016)
- General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration in Takagi, 2016.
