Material examined

43.6 km
W of Gibb Road-Kalamburu turnoff).
Remarks
. Found in the same area as
A. varia
, this species differs most significantly from the former by a distinct anatomy of the interior penial wall. The penis anatomy of the present sample corresponds with that shown by
Solem (1981a)
. This species is represented in the molecular tree shown below. The two samples sequenced herein do not form a monophyletic cluster but are separated by a considerable uncorrected pair-wise genetic distance of 17% and are shown as non-monophyletic with respect to
A. varia
. This indicates problems with the species recognition and probably the presence of an unidentified species.
