TYPE: Female
holotype
from Yundamindra area, 298079S, 1228029E,
Western Australia
(early
June 1989
; S. Gilligan), deposited in
WAM
(96/615).
ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the
type
locality.
DIAGNOSIS: The male of this distinctive species can easily be recognized by the long retrolateral tibial apophysis and the extremely long embolus, which originates on the retrolateral side of the palpal bulb (fig. 627); the female here associated with that male is from a different area, but has extremely long and narrow epigynal ducts (figs. 628, 629) that may be correlated with the male embolus length.
MALE: Total length 6.2. Coloration as in
A. phaleratus
. Leg spination: tibiae: III p0 00, v1p22, r000; IV p000, v1p1p2; metatarsi: III v000; IV v1p00. Retrolateral tibial apophysis reaching threefourths length of cymbium (fig. 627); embolus originating on retrolateral side of bulb, greatly extended beyond proximal edge of bulb, dorsal prong of terminal apophysis elongate (fig. 626).
FEMALE: Total length 7.6. Coloration as in
A. phaleratus
. Leg spination: tibiae: III p0 01, v01p2, r000; IV p000, v1p1p2; metatarsi: III v1p00; IV v21p0. Epigynum anteriorly elongated, with conspicuous, oval openings (fig. 628); ducts elongated, highly twisted anteriorly (fig. 629).
