Diagnosis

This species is similar to A. dimidiatus ( Paik, 1974) , A. kimi ( Paik, 1974) , A. euini ( Paik, 1976) , A. bifidus ( Paik, 1976) , A. ovatus ( Paik, 1976) , A. rostratus (Song et al., 1993) and A. jaegeri (Kim, 2007) in having slender embolus penetrating the tegulum of male palp and epigynal atrium wider than long and copulatory opening located under the lateral atrial margin. The species can be distinguished by median apophysis present (absent in A. euini , A. rostratus ), dorsal apophysis of conductor not developed or expanded (sharp projection in A. euini , A. jaegeri , A. kimi ), conductor broadly hook-like (linear in A. dimidiatus , A. kimi ); and in female by length of copulatory duct longer than atrium (shorter in A. ovatus ), spermathecal head located on the upper of genital opening (lower in A. bifidus ).
