TYPES: Male holotype, female allotype, and one female and two male paratypes taken from cloud forest litter at an elevation of 1400 m at a site 8 km northeast of San Cristo´ bal in the Parque Nacional Chorro El Indio , 7 ° 44'15"N, 72 ° 11'37"W, Ta´ chira, Venezuela (May 29, 1998; R. Anderson), deposited in AMNH ( PBI_OON 869 ) GoogleMaps .

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

DIAGNOSIS: Males resemble those of A. propinquus but have a V-shaped embolar tip (figs. 406–408); females have a T-shaped anterior genitalic process with recurved tips (fig. 410).

MALE (PBI_OON 870, figs. 400, 403– 408): Total length 2.17. ALE separated by less than their radius. Sternum surface coarsely reticulate, microsculpture everywhere but front. Anterior process of endites relatively long, sharply pointed. Dorsal scutum covering full length of abdomen, no soft tissue visible from above, not fused to epigastric scutum. Postepigastric scutum long, almost rectangular, extending to nearly full length of abdomen. Leg spination: femur I p0-0-2, r1-1-1; tibiae: I v4-4-2; II v4-4-0; metatarsi: I v2-2-1p; II v2-2-0. Sperm pore small, narrow, slitlike. Cymbium without distal patch of setae. Embolus relatively short, wide, distally with three parallel prongs.

FEMALE (PBI_OON 869, figs. 401, 402, 409, 410): Total length 2.33. Dorsal scutum covering 1/2 to 3/4 of abdomen length, more than 1/2 to most of abdomen width. Postepigastric scutum almost semicircular, covering about 1/3 of abdomen length. Leg spination: femora I, II p0-0-2, r1-1-1; tibiae I, II v4-4-2; metatarsi: I v2-2-1p; II v3-2-0. Distal expansion on anterior genitalic process greatly widened, T-shaped, recurved.

OTHER MATERIAL EXAMINED: Venezuela: Ta´chira: 10 km NE San Cristo´ bal, Parque Nacional Chorro El Indio, 7 ° 43'46"N, 72 ° 12'17"W, May 29, 1998, upper montane forest litter, elev. 1300 m (R. Anderson, AMNH PBI_OON 870), 4♂.
