WAM 92/1322: 10, head and forcipular segment from above; 11, head and forcipular segment from 
below. Scale lines equal 0.1 mm. 
form a circular group in posterior half of stemite 
(Figure 8). Last trunk segment: presternite 
constricted medially. Metasternite trapeziform. 
One coxal pore present on each side, partly 
covered by metasternite. Last legs of female quite 
slender with few setae while those of male are 
greatly swollen and densely covered below with 
short setae. Metatergite D-shaped (Figures 1, 5, 6).

Australia, 10 May 1969, D.D. Giuliani (WAM 92/

Paratype 
Western Australia: Australia: 1 9, same data as 
holotype (WAM 92/1624). 
Diagnosis 
With two coxal pores on each side, forcipules 
equal in length to the head capsule. 
Description 
Number of trunk segments: 45 (<?), 47 ($). 
Length: to ca. 15 mm. 
Colour: colourless to yellowish white, head and 
forcipular segment slightly darker. Head capsule: 
about equal in length and breadth, sides convex, 
length about a third of that of the antennae (Figure 
17). Antennae: first segment very much wider than 
long, second to seventh longer than wide, the rest 
wider than long or about equal except the last 
which is equal in length to the previous two 
(Figure 17). Forcipules: equal in length to the head 
capsule. Seen from above the forcipules bulge 
outwards at the base but not as prominently as in 
A. capensis (Figure 14). Clypeus: with two post- 
antennary setae and a band of 16 or 17 
intermediate clypeal setae. One, possibly two, 
prelabral setae (Figures 15, 16). Labrum: well 
marked sidepieces with four sharp teeththe 
midpiece bearing about 10 blunt teeth in an arch 
(Figure 16). Maxillae: first maxillae with two palpi 
on each side, apical claw of second maxillary 
telopodite with five or six spines on dorsomedial 
edge (Figure 12). Pore-groups: indistinct, but 
definitely present from second to 13th or 14th 
segment, gland openings forming a circular group 
in posterior half of segment (Figure 21). Last trunk 
segment: as in A. capensis the component sclerites 
are difficult to distinguish, but presternite appears 
to be split medially. Metasternite trapeziform and 
covering two coxal pores on each side. Female legs 
narrow with sparse setae, while male legs are 
fatter, though not as fat as in A. capensis, and 
covered ventrally with numerous short setae. 
Metatergite D-shaped (Figures 18, 19, 20, 22).
