COMMENTS
The figured specimen is relatively poorly preserved and is assigned to
A. tipularius
with doubt because several diagnostic characters have probably remained on the counter plate which is not in the collection. Note that one other species of this genus –
A. elegans
Münster, 1839
– is known from the Solnhofen Lithographic Limestones but is not present in the Paris collection.
