(after Castalanelli et al. 2020): Males of A. baileyorum differ from most other species of the genus by the position of the megaspur on leg I, which is situated somewhat medially (TIS/TIL ΒΌ 0.40); most of the other species that have similar positions of less than 0.50 are distinguished by the position of the metatarsal proximal excavation in which MIL/MID is greater than 3.5 (A. diversicolor, A. kirrama Raven, A. munyardae and A. marae, or by the thickened tibia and metatarsus I in A. atra and A. barrema ). Females are unknown.
