Diagnosis.
Frontal scar patch undivided (
Bravo, 2006: fig. 34
). Radial fork distal to medial fork (
Fig. 1
). The distance AB between the hypandrium and the gonocoxal apodeme is 1.5x the length of the paramere (
Fig. 2
). Apex of sternite 10 without lateral lobes (
Fig. 3
).
Specimens included in
A. minuta
:
holotype
male. The 2
paratypes
included by
Bravo (2006)
in
A. minuta
were assigned to a new species described below.

Comments.
The
type
material of
A. minuta
described by
Bravo (2006)
included
3 specimens
, the
holotype
from Bahia State and two
paratypes
from Amazonas State. The discovery of a new specimen similar to
A. minuta
from Amazonas State (INPA collection) allowed a more accurate evaluation of the characteristics of these
4 specimens
. Two species were recognized between these
4 specimens
:
A. minuta
for the specimen of Bahia State and a new species (described below) for the three specimens from Amazonas State. The figures of
A. minuta
described by
Bravo (2006)
were based on the
holotype
. See others commentaries in the next new species.
