(male and female

Western Australia
, in MNHN, examined; male
syntype
from
Yalgoo
,
Western Australia
, in WAM, examined; male and
two female
syntypes
from Boorabbin,

, in ZMH, examined).
DIAGNOSIS: Males resemble those of the sometimes sympatric
A. barlee
but have a longer embolus that almost reaches the retrolateral side of the cymbium (figs. 594, 595); females have relatively indistinct, vshaped epigynal margins and obliquely oriented anterior ducts (figs. 596, 597).
MALE: Total length 7.0. Soft portions of abdominal cuticle gray, legs orange, femora darkest, unmarked. Leg spination: tibiae: III r001; IV v1p1p2; metatarsi IV v21p0. Retrolateral tibial apophysis reaching to more than half of cymbial length (fig. 595); ventral prong of terminal apophysis distally expanded, membranous, dorsal prong terminating in long, sclerotized spur accompanying membranous conductor (fig. 594).
FEMALE: Total length 7.0. Coloration as in male. Leg spination: metatarsi IV r010. Epigynum with inconspicuous lateral margins outlining vshaped atrium (fig. 596); spermathecae variable, beanshaped to dumbbellshaped, surrounded by arched posterior and oblique anterior ducts (fig. 597).
