Red-headed Aname Aname mellosa Harvey, Framenau, Wojcieszek, Rix & Harvey, 2012

(from Harvey et al. 2012): Males of A. mellosa differ from all other named species of the genus by the colouration of the carapace which is overall light yellowish-brown with the cephalic region honey-coloured to very dark reddish-brown. Females also have a somewhat darker cephalic region but the colour difference between the cephalic and thoracic regions is much less pronounced. Tibia I of males has a large spur and megaspine located medially, and metatarsus I is incrassate with the ‘heel’ of the thickening about half-way; this conformation most closely resembles A. pallida from eastern Queensland from which it differs by the less pronounced metatarsal process and the smaller tibial spur and megaspine. Female genitalia resemble those of A. longitheca Raven, 1984 from central Queensland in possessing long lateral tubes, but they differ in the shape of the median spermathecae which are coiled in A. longitheca and S-shaped in A. mellosa.
