Diagnosis: The anal segment, which is gradually ascendant and flattened towards the apical portion ( Fig. 6C View FIGURE 6 ) resembles ♂♂ of A. granulosa n. sp. and A. lojaense n. sp.. The less bulgy poculum, which bears a small and obtuse posteriad directed central protuberance ( Fig. 6C View FIGURE 6 ; angular but without a protuberance in granulosa), differently shaped vomer, distinct blackish longitudinal postocular streak ( Fig. 6B View FIGURE 6 ), unicoloured mesonotum as well as the slight sub-basal protuberance of the posteroventral carina of the mesofemora well distinguishes A. carrikeri from the first species. From the second species it can be distinguished by the larger size, relatively much shorter abdominal tergum IX and longer anal segment and rounded posterior margin of the poculum ( Fig. 6E View FIGURE 6 ). Body length of the holotype 78.5 mm.

Comments: Here transferred from the Antillean genus Bacteria Latreille et al., 1827 where it was placed by Otte & Brock (2005: 62). So far only known from the unique ♂ holotype in ANSP ( Fig. 6A View FIGURE 6 ), hence the ♀♀ and eggs are still unknown.

Distribution: S-Colombia, Dept. Nariño, Magdalena, Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, San Lorenzo, 2530 m [ANSP].
