Remarks

Paoletti & Stinner (1989) described A. caraibicus from Parque Marrocoy, Falcón State, Venezuela. In the description, no sexual dimorphism was noted in the dorsal ornamentation. However, the male specimens show four dorsal tubercles on pleonite 2, while females have only two (see Fig. 9 and Paoletti & Stinner 1989: fig. 11).

Distribution

Venezuela: Coralline cays of the Parque Natural Morrocoy ( Paoletti & Stinner 1989), and north coast of the Península de Paria ( Schmidt 2001). First record for Colombia.
