Material Examined.
Washington: near Richland, Benton County,
2 males
(JCC).
Diagnosis.
The presence of setae on the upper ectal surface of the chelicera (
Fig. 21
) will separate this species from all others in the genus except for
A. hageni
(Chamberlin)
. From this latter species, the males differ by not having the metatarsus I swollen in the middle. In southwestern Oregon, it is the only member of the genus to have a procurved male genital plate (
Fig. 30
).
Abbreviated Description.
All three dorsal opisthosomal sclerotized patches separate; male genital plate with sclerotized parts undivided, thin, and procurved; chelicera without distodorsal projection, with setae on upper ectal surface; with prolateral brush of macrosetae on tibia I, 48–93% of macrosetae ensiform; tibia I with 6–23 (2–13 ensiform) macrosetae retrolaterally, without large heavy macrosetae ventrally; tibia and metatarsus I not swollen in lateral view; metatarsus I weakly sinuous, with one large retrolateral distal macroseta (seta A) ventrally; tip of palpal outer conductor sclerite not closely appressed to inner conductor sclerite; palpal tibia 2.54–2.78 times longer than wide; males active above ground in early August to early November.
Distribution.
Great Basin region from Utah and Nevada north to Oregon, Idaho, and Washington (

Comments.
The description is based upon data from
Coyle (1971)
as well as the examination of two males.
