Etymology.
A noun in apposition taken from the
type
locality.
Diagnosis.
Similar to
Agobardus brevitarsus
Bryant,
1943
in the shape of male chelicera (Fig. 40), and to
A. perpilosus
Bryant,
1943
in the shape of male palp (Fig. 39). It differs from
A. brevitarsus
in the shorter embolus (Fig. 39), the dentition on the male chelicera (Fig. 40), and the smaller epigynal window (Fig. 41). It can be distinguished from
A. perpilosus
by the teeth pattern and the presence of a cusp on the fang of the male chelicera (Fig. 40).
