Diagnosis. Males of A. tarsalis differ from those of all species, except A. castelo ( Fig. 12 View FIGURE 12 A–C), by the copulatory bulb without BTA and by the robust embolar base, inserted basally at a right angle (90°); the embolar apex is flattened and expanded, arrow-shaped in dorsal view. They differ from those of A. castelo by PAc inconspicuous at prolateral surface, embolus shorter, tegulum wider than in A. castelo and PA more conspicuous ( Fig. 9 View FIGURE 9 A–C, see Miglio et al., 2012, figs 1–12).
