Metatarsus usually with 4 macrosetae — 3 ventral, and 1 prolateral 
at distal end — positioned as in Figure 71. Metatarsus not greatly 
elongate, bowed so that prolateral surface is concave; proximal half 
swollen in lateral view. Abdomen: 2 large tergites (second larger 
than first) and usually a bilateral pair of small sclerotized patches 
post, to second tergite. Spinnerets : (Fig. 32). AL without spigots, 
almost 1/2 as long as PM. PM slightly expanded distally, maximum 
diam. 1/3 to 1/2 its length. Coloration: Pars thoracica pale yellow 
to tan. Pars cephalica light brown to brown. Sternum similar to 
pars thoracica; labium and palpal coxa similar to pars cephalica. 
Chelicerae reddish brown to very dark reddish brown. Pedipalps, 
pale grayish orange to orange brown dorsally. Leg I orange to bright 
orange brown, darkest dorsally. Rest of legs duller, dorsally similar 
to pars thoracica, ventrally lighter. Abdomen very light grayish 
yellow, tergites darker yellowish gray. Holotype at lighter end of 
range. 
Female. Carapace: (Figs. 4, 5, 18). Quite broad. Shape and 
position of thoracic groove and distribution of setae similar to that 
in male. Pars cephalica very strongly elevated, highest just behind 
eye group. Height of clypeus at ALE 1/2 to 1 times the vertical 
diam. of ALE. Diam. of AME slightly less or equal to their distance 
apart. Sternum: (Fig. 38). As wide as long. Shape and position 
of sigilla similar to that in male. Numerous stout, sharp sternal 
setae as well as long slender ones. Chelicerae : (Figs. 4, 5, 43). Very 
robust. Dorsal protuberance broadly rounded in side view. Micro- 
teeth positioned beside last 2 or last macrotooth and extend post, to 
last macrotooth. Wide seta-less area on ectal side of ant. half of 
macrotooth row. Abdomen: Single large tergite corresponding to 
second tergite on male. Ant. to this is bilateral pair of prominent 
setae sometimes with tiny sclerotized patches at bases corresponding 
to first tergite of male. Spinnerets: (Fig. 32). Slightly thicker 
than in males, but length ratios similar. AL without spigots. PM 
slightly expanded distally, maximum diam. about 1/2 length. Geni- 
talia: (Figs. 78, 79, 87-89). Seminal receptacles with short, rather 
stout, straight to slightly curved stalk, wide prominent bowl. Colora- 
tion: Pars cephalica light brown; pars thoracica slightly paler. Ster- 
num similar to pars cephalica ; labium and palpal coxae darker brown. 
Chelicerae brown. Pedipalps and legs dorsally similar to pars thoracica 
(except tarsi of pedipalps and of leg I darker), lighter ventrally. 
Abdomen and tergite as in male. 
diagnosis. Both sexes of A. hadros can be easily distinguished 
from the other species by the very wide sternum (Figs. 37, 38),
