Differential diagnosis
Males of A. quadrata sp. nov. are differentiated from all those of the pectorosa and pacifica groups by the ventral tegular projection distal section being broad and rectangular, the median apophysis also rectangular, longer than wide ( Figs 34E–F View Fig , 35A–D View Fig ). Coxa III tubercle bifurcated, anterior ramification blunt, posterior ramification spine-shaped ( Fig. 35E–F View Fig ). Similar tegular apophyses are found in males of A. zuyelenae ( Durán-Barrón et al. 2016: figs 12–14, 16) and A. accentuata ( Platnick 1974: figs 63, 70; Dondale & Redner 1982: fig. 336; Brescovit 1997: figs 1–6), but they differ by the hook-shaped median apophysis, the RTA shape and coxal ventral surfaces.
Etymology
The species epithet is derived from the Latin ‘ quadrata ’ (‘square’), referring to the distinctive broad semi-squared shape of the ventral tegular projection.
