Other material examined.
Known only from the
type
specimen.
Diagnosis.
The female of
A. coboi
can be distinguished from those of all other species in the genus by the shape of their spermathecae (
Fig. 2D
) with an apical lobe diagonally directed; similar to that of
A. indiamuerta
from which it differs by the more numerous retrolateral spines on tibia II and the labium shape (
Fig. 2B, E
). Males are unknown.
