Material examined: Holotype male: New South Wales: Chichester State Forest, Dundungra Falls, 24.xii.2000, A. Wells, ANIC.

Diagnosis: This species resembles A. paracralus in having 2 apical spurs on each gonopod, one on the dorsal edge, the other situated ventrally, but lobes of segment X are about twice as long as the gonopods and sharply tapered, and cerci are slender and subequal in length to the gonopods, not club-shaped and half as long as the gonopods as in A. paracralus .

Forewing length: Male 3.2 mm.

Male genitalia: Abdominal sternite VI with stout, slightly upturned mesal process. Abdominal segment IX shallowly triangulate anterolaterally, with greatest length subdorsally. Segment X pair of slender, sharply produced rods, about twice length of gonopods. Cerci slender, nearly as long as gonopods, each with row of elongate setae dorsally. Gonopods stout, in ventral view each with 2 black teeth or spurs apically, one each on the mesodorsal and mesoventral margins, in lateral view broad and almost truncate apically. Phallic apparatus simple, elongate, without parameres or spines.

Female: Unknown.

Etymology: Named for the type locality.

Distribution: Known only from the type locality in northeastern New South Wales.
