Taxonomic remarks.
The translucent appearance in which multiple male copulatory organs can be distinguished, the intestinal ramifications are marked orange or reddish, the cerebral eyes are grouped in a characteristic single elongated cluster, and the marginal eyes distributed along the first third of the body, agrees with the description made by Lang in 1884 form
A. virilis
