REMARKS

Photographs and original drawings of A. exigua syntypes are presented in Jangoux (2021: 228 fig.15).

Due to wrong information (presumed loss of A. exigua type specimens), Dartnall (1971) designated a neotype for the species. The neotype is from False Bay ( South Africa) and is kept in the TMH (ref. TMH 508).
