( Fig. 37 View FIGURE 37 )
Material examined. Holotype female, Kenya, Taita Hills , altitude 1600 m, July 2007 (El-Banhawy) . Paratypes, 3 females, same data as holotype .
Female: Dorsal shield smooth, 320 long, 215 wide. Measurements of dorsal setae j1 25, j3 32, j4, j5, j6 6, J2 10, J5 6, z2, z 4 7, z5 5, Z1 12, Z4 42, Z5 81, s4 35, S2, S4 12, S5 9, r3, R1 10, JV5 40. Peritrematal shield fused anteriorly with dorsal shield, reaching level of j1. Sternal shield smooth, distances between St I-St III 55 , St II-St II 60 , St IV on platelets. Genital shield 74 wide. Ventri-anal shield pentagonal, smooth, 115 long, 74 wide, with a pair of elliptical pre-anal pores, mesad to JV2, and three pairs of pre-anal setae (JV1, JV2, ZV2). Two pairs of metapodal platelets, two pairs of sigillar sclerites and four pairs of setae surrounding ventri-anal shield. Fixed digit of chelicera with 9–10 teeth, movable digit with four teeth. Spermatheca calyx conical-shaped, 16 long, greatest width 12, smallest width 4, atrium vaculated, 7 long. Macrosetae, Sge II 30 , Sge III 35 , Sti III 25 , Sge IV 60 , Sti IV 27 , St IV 65 . Chaetotaxy: genu II 2 , 2 / 0, 2/0, 1, genu III 1 , 2 /1, 2/0, 1.
Remarks. This species is similar to A. genya . The details of the spermatheca, the number of teeth on both cheliceral digits, and the lengths of the dorsal setae separate these two species.
