Etymology.
The specific name is a noun in apposition from the
type
locality name, Serra da Mesa.
Diagnosis.
Males of
A. mesa
resemble those of
A. ipioca
(
Fig. 88
A–C),
A. itaqui
(
Fig. 91
A–C),
A. rufipes
(
Fig. 72
A–C) and
A. caxiuana
(
Fig. 100
A–C) by the BTA placed medially on prolateral tegular surface (
Fig. 97 A
); they resemble those of
A. nattereri
(
Fig. 67
A–C),
A. vilhena
(
Fig. 75
A–C),
A. harveyi
(
Fig. 78
A–C) and
A. caxiuana
by the absence of an embolar serrated area. They resemble those of
A. nattereri
,
A. rufipes
,
A. itaqui
,
A. utinga
(
Fig. 103
A–C) and
A. caxiuana
by the welldeveloped and bordered PA and differ from those of all other species of the group
nattereri
by PA placed in a triangular area and by the hirsute legs and body.
