In addition,  A. spathionhas two solenomere processes, one of which is two-pointed, whereas  A. salutushas only one tiny, single solenomere process.   Description. Male holotype: Bodyca. 15 mmlong (last few segments missing); midbody ring ca. 1.5 mmwide, with distinct, smooth waist, prozonite and metazonite of similar widths.  Distribution.This species appears to have a slightly larger distribution than most Pilbara millipede species, ranging from the Coongan River area, near Marble Bar to Wickham, Karratha in the Pilbara, a distance of ca. 500 km (Fig 41).  Etymology.The species is named for the broad, flattened solenomere tip (Latin, noun, spathionspatula, di- minutive). 2412564069 2003-11-12 2004-05-10 2003-11-12 CALM Australia -20.768055 Pilbara Biological Survey 21 116.84195 Dampier 59 60 1 Western Australia holotype 2412564085 [438,1018,1160,1187] WAM Australia 59 60 T7144579 1 Western Australia holotype 2412564103 2003-11-12 2004-05-10 2003-11-12 WAM Australia -20.768055 Pilbara Biological Survey 21 116.84195 Dampier 59 60 2 2 Western Australia paratype 2412564086 2004-05 CALM Wickham & Pilbara Biological Survey Australia -20.688416 Western Australia 1 117.00692 59 60 16 8 8 Western Australia 2412564075 WAM Pilbara Biological Survey Australia Coongan River Pilbara Biological Survey Talga River 59 60 PHYC09 1 1 Western Australia 2412564078 2005-07-31 2006-05-12 2005-07-31 CALM Australia -20.895555 21 119.6025 59 60 1 Western Australia 2412564081 WAM, MK Pilbara Biological Survey & GenBank Australia Coongan River Pilbara Biological Survey Talga River 59 60 T124600, PHYC09 2 2 Western Australia 2412564082 [268,1285,1448,1475] 2005-07-31 2006-05-12 2005-07-31 CALM Australia -20.895555 21 119.6025 59 60 1 Western Australia 2412564076 WAM Pilbara Biological Survey Australia 59 60 T146749 1 Western Australia
