Diagnosis
. Females of
A. puyen
sp. nov.
can be distinguished from other species of
Aglaoctenus
by the wide marginal light brown bands in the carapace (
Fig. 5
a), and by the epigyne that has a wide longitudinal septum, similar to
A. oblongus
(
Fig. 13
a) but without well developed lateral projections (
Fig. 6
a).
