( Fig. 3 C)

Material examined. 5 males, 2 ov. females, Ilha de Santa Bárbara (17°57’49”S 38°41’53”W), coll. G.O. Soledade, 22.viii.2013, intertidal, under rocks, UESC 1551; 3 males, 3 ov. females, same collection data, 24.viii.2013, UESC 1552; 2 males, 1 ov. female, same collection data, 02.ix.2013, UESC 1553; 1 male, 1 ov. female, same collection data, 03.ix.2013, UESC 1554.

Remarks. The species is recorded for the first time from the Abrolhos Archipelago, although previous records of A. armillatus H. Milne-Edwards, 1837 from this area [e.g., Smith 1869, as A. heterochaelis (see Christoffersen 1984); Gomes Corrêa 1972; Young & Serejo 2005] may correspond, at least in part, to A. carlae (see also Soledade & Almeida 2013).
