Diagnosis. The female of A. longipalpis differs from those of all other species in Uruguay by the shape of their spermathecae ( Fig. 5D View FIGURE 5 ) being wide basally, with a well truncated fundus, concave dorsally with external lobes projected perpendicular to the duct (similar to A. argenteus ; A. casuhati and A. gerschiapelliarum from Argentina). Females differ from those of A. argenteus and A. casuhati by the smaller number of retrolateral spines on tibia II ( Fig. 5C View FIGURE 5 ) and from A. gerschiapelliarum by the form and shape of their spermathecae. Males can be differentiated from all other species by the thick copulatory bulb thick, with the embolus arising apically ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 G–I); and a low number of retrolateral spines on tibia II ( Fig. 4F View FIGURE 4 ), and from those of A. pampa and A. argenteus by the abdomen with a brown dorsum.

Description. See Ríos-Tamayo & Goloboff 2018, figs 23A–I, 24A–D.

Distribution: Northern Uruguay and northern of Argentina (Entre Ríos province), ( Fig.10 View FIGURE 10 ). The type locality “Montevideo” seems be just the default shipping port (see Ríos-Tamayo & Goloboff 2018, p. 52).
