Material examined

BRAZIL: 2 ♂♂, 1 ♀, Espírito Santo: Dores do Rio Preto, PN do Caparaó, afluente do Rio Preto (laje), 20°29′26.2″ S, 41°49′17.1″ W, 11–15 Jan. 2015, 1507 m, J.L. Nessimian and A.L.H. Oliveira leg. (DZRJ).

Remarks

Despite the resemblance with A. prolixus Flint & Denning, 1989, especially regarding the intermediate appendages, this species can be recognized by the unique setation of the lateral process of the phallus, which has an extremely elongate mesolateral spine and a small apical one.

A. longispinum was originally reported from high altitude areas of the Atlantic Forest domain in the Serra do Mar mountain range (São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro states). We collected this species at a similar site, but in the Serra da Mantiqueira mountain range, in Espirito Santo state, the first record of A. longispinum for this state.
