. 10–11 Holotype male. 12, 14, 15 Paratype female. 13 Paratype male.
Diagnosis.
Tibial apophyses of male palp much smaller than in
A. alticeps
Wanless
and
A. cornutus
Wanless
, not projecting retrolaterally as in those species.
Description.
Male
(
holotype
). Carapace length 2.5; abdomen length 2.2. Chelicerae elongate, projecting forward, in life held together (
Fig. 13
). Four promarginal and two retromarginal teeth. Intercheliceral sclerite elongated into a horn as in other
Allococalodes
and
Cocalodes
. Palpus (
Figs 16–17
) with embolus short and accompanied by a conductor and median apophysis, as in the other two species of
Allococalodes
(

)
. Median apophysis flat, leaf-like. Tibia of first leg with three pairs of ventral macrosetae; first metatarsus with three pairs. Carapace high, with posterior eyes on tubercles and area of fovea concave. PME large. Colour (
Figs 10, 11, 13
): carapace and abdomen dark brown except paler longitudinal stripe on thoracic slope and dorsally on abdomen. Recumbent golden-orange setae concentrated near eyes and over heart; white setae over thoracic stripe; black elsewhere. Palpi pale olive yellow except cymbium red-brown.

Natural history.
All specimens were found on moss-covered surfaces within a few metres of a shaded stream in the forest at mid elevation. Most were on moss-covered trunks of small trees and vines (
