Material Examined.
Oregon: Lane County: Eugene,
2 males
(determined by Coyle, 1969) (
AMNH
); H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest,
5 males
(JMC).
Diagnosis.
This species is the only member of the genus which has the tibia I prolateral macrosetae reaching the distal end of the segment on males (
Fig. 47
).
Abbreviated Description.
All three dorsal opisthosomal sclerotized patches separate; male genital plate with sclerotized parts divided, straight to recurved (
Fig. 31
); chelicera without distodorsal projection, without setae on upper ectal surface; with prolateral brush of macrosetae on tibia I (
Fig. 47
) which reach distal end of segment, 37–74% of macrosetae ensiform; tibia I with 2–9 macrosetae retrolaterally, without large heavy macrosetae ventrally; tibia and metatarsus I not swollen in lateral view; metatarsus I sinuous, without macrosetae ventrally; tip of palpal outer conductor sclerite not closely appressed to inner conductor sclerite; palpal tibia 2.11–2.25 times longer than wide; males active above ground from late September to early November.
Distribution.
Western Oregon between the coast and the Cascade Mountain range (
Fig. 3
;
Coyle 1971
: Map 2).
Comments.
Examination of voucher material from the study of
McIver
et al.
(1992)
revealed the presence of two species: individuals from old growth stands (JMC) are
A. occultus
and small, yellowish colored specimens (OSAC) from a clearcut stand (
3 males
) are possibly an undescribed species.
