Rossi's Termite Hunter Austrammo rossi Platnick, 2002
Fauna Portal species: 2726
Diagnosis
(after Platnick 2002): The single known male and female of A. rossi are from widely separated localities, but are tentatively matched here in accordance with the null hypothesis strategy outlined by Platnick (2000). Males can easily be distinguished from congenerics by their very short retrolateral tibial apophysis, females by having the lateral epigynal margins connected to the anterior epigynal hood.
