1 In A. longispinosus longispinosus, the posterior apex of the ventral apotome is blunt, in A. longispinosus paleochora it is acute (Waringer & Malicky 2019).
2 Number of additional edge setae of each foretibia in brackets ().
3 Vieira-Lanero (2000) distinguished a dark band on each parietal parallel to the frontoclypeal suture of A. tavaresi, but in his figure 72h such bands are not obvious and are similar in colour to the adjacent areas.
