Martina Petru, May 2011; 3 juveniles , ZFMK-MYR887, same data as previous; 1 M, 2 F, ZFMK-MYR888, Madagascar, Province Toliara, Ifaty, spiny forest, 23°07.368’ S, 43°37.081’ E, coll.

Remarks. The new localities are more than 350 km NW of the type locality. Morphologically, the specimens are identical to the type series—unfortunately no molecular data is available for the type locality, Andohahela. A. aridus could be one of the widespread spiny forest species, such as the giant pill-millipedes Zoosphaerium libidinosum (de Saussure & Zehntner, 1897) and Sphaeromimus musicus (de Saussure & Zehntner, 1897) .
