Comments. This species is still known only from the holotype. It is apparently a Pacific slope version of the Atlantic slope A. foveolatus , differing only in the smaller eyes and perhaps smaller size. But these are both traits that vary, and sample sizes are insufficient to assess morphological distinctness.
