Description. Dorsal section of aedeagal tip short (figs. 25-27) 
thickened and upcurved, especially at right side where small broad 
tooth exists (best seen from right side); ventral section projecting, 
tip truncate; posterior view with uniformly broad arch over orifice. 
Internal sac thick and slightly curved. Spermatheca similar to that 
in A. seottsboroensis (fig. 62) but with more bend in posterior part 
when seen from right, and with a lower crest on the anterior part. 
Etymology. The name refers to the Cumberland Plateau, flank- 
ing the NW face of the Appalachian Mountains. 
Distribution. The species range is in the forested slopes and 
valleys of the southern end of the Cumberland Plateau, in north- 
eastern Alabama, north and west of the Tennessee River. This river 
is a natural boundary of the species range, separating it from that of 
A. appalachiana south of the river. 
Notes. The species has been found in moist forest litter and cave 
entrances in the months of March, April, May, June, July and 
August. 
Relationships. The species is derivable from A. appalachiana by 
an increased arching of the genital orifice, a thickening of the dorsal 
orifice lip, and an increase in the length of the ventral section.
