ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is an arbitrary combination of letters.
DIAGNOSIS: Males of this distinctive species can easily be recognized by the greatly enlarged dorsal prong of the terminal apophysis (fig. 622), females by the inverted heartshaped epigynal atrium (fig. 623) and enlarged anterior epigynal ducts (fig. 624).

A. phaleratus
. Leg spination: tibiae: III p0 00, v000, r000; IV p000, v1p1p1p, r000; metatarsi: III v000; IV v01p0. Palpal femur shortened, thickened distally, with small, rounded knob at about twothirds of length of retrolateral surface; retrolateral tibial apophysis reaching to about half of cymbial length (fig. 623); dorsal portion of terminal apophysis greatly enlarged, forming ushaped functional conductor (fig. 622).
FEMALE: Total length 7.1. Coloration as in
A. phaleratus
