Diagnosis. This species resembles A. ligulacea (Qu, Peng & Yin, 2009) (Figs 7–8), but can be distinguished from the latter by the distal end of median apophysis triangular, with ventrally bent tip (Figs 9A–B, 10D–E), whereas it is similar to the head of a cobra snake in A. ligulacea (Figs 7A–B, 8D–E), basoembolic apophysis almost round and not sclerotized (Figs 9A, C, 10D–F), whereas longer than wide, highly sclerotized in A. ligulacea (Figs 7A, C, 8D, F). Posterior margin of epigyne with a depression (Figs 9D–E, 10G–H), whereas posterior margin straight in A. ligulacea (Figs 7D–E, 8G–H). Spermathecal head furcated into two branches (Figs 9E, 10H), whereas not furcated in A. ligulacea (Figs 7E, 8H).

Description. See Li et al. (2012) for both sexes. Habitus, male pedipalp, and epigyne as in Figs 9–10.
