TYPE: Female holotype from Yundamindra area, 298079S, 1228029E, Western Australia

(early June 1989; S. Gilligan), deposited in WAM (96/615).

ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality.

DIAGNOSIS: The male of this distinctive species can easily be recognized by the long retrolateral tibial apophysis and the extremely long embolus, which originates on the retrolateral side of the palpal bulb (fig. 627); the female here associated with that male is from a different area, but has extremely long and narrow epigynal ducts (figs. 628, 629) that may be correlated with the male embolus length.

MALE: Total length 6.2. Coloration as in A. phaleratus . Leg spination: tibiae: III p0­ 0­0, v1p­2­2, r0­0­0; IV p0­0­0, v1p­1p­2; metatarsi: III v0­0­0; IV v1p­0­0. Retrolateral tibial apophysis reaching three­fourths length of cymbium (fig. 627); embolus originating on retrolateral side of bulb, greatly extended beyond proximal edge of bulb, dorsal prong of terminal apophysis elongate (fig. 626).

FEMALE: Total length 7.6. Coloration as in A. phaleratus . Leg spination: tibiae: III p0­ 0­1, v0­1p­2, r0­0­0; IV p0­0­0, v1p­1p­2; metatarsi: III v1p­0­0; IV v2­1p­0. Epigynum anteriorly elongated, with conspicuous, oval openings (fig. 628); ducts elongated, highly twisted anteriorly (fig. 629).

OTHER MATERIAL EXAMINED: Western Australia: Barlee Range Nature Reserve, 238239S, 1158539E, June 1994, pitfall (S. van Leeuwen, B. Bromilow, WAM 96/667), 1?.
