New syn. Lundblad (1969) synonymized A. projectus Cook, 1967 with A. spinosus . K.O. Viets (1987) suspected A. incisifrons to be synonymous with A. projectus . We agree with both authors, as both species have a similar shape of the idiosoma and petiole. Therefore A. incisifrons is now a junior synonym of A. spinosus .
