Genitalia ( Figs 63–65, 88–89): Tergite IX reduced to narrow bridge midventrally, in lateral view partly delineated from tergite X, with small convexity below phallic apparatus midapicolaterally, rounded in ventral view; abdominal tergite X apically with deep V-shaped excision; gonopods each with coxopodite about 1.5–2.0x length of harpago and well-developed irregular-shaped mesal lobe subapically; phallic apparatus with two pairs of sharply pointed, straight endothecal spines subapically. Female (association tentative, Figs 96, 97). Resembling  Au. victoriana: Terminal abdomen with sternite VIII divided to form 2 plates, in ventral view broad based, tapered distally to truncate apices, in lateral view, apicolateral angles slightly produced, triangular.   Distribution.Collected at higher altitudes of south-eastern Australiafrom East Gippsland, Victoriato the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney, New South Wales. 1841138326 [151,986,356,381] NSW, BMNH Mt Kosciusko 2 Material 18 19 1 1 holotype 1841138327 1960-12-14 ANIC Bendora & D.
