Differential diagnosis
Females of A. fernandae sp. nov. are differentiated from those of A. autumna Platnick, 1974 ( Platnick 1974: figs 39, 45) and the other species of the celer group by the following features: ellipsoid hood, wider than long, midpiece rhomboidal and tapering posteriorly, spermathecae wider than long, and short copulatory ducts ( Figs 9E–F View Fig , 18A–B View Fig ).
Etymology
The species epithet is dedicated to Fernanda Lia Rivera, sister of the first author.
