Image: Framenau. (2002; fig. 3A)
Fauna Portal Image No. 3729Diagnosis
(after Framenau 2002): The bifurcate tegular of the male pedipalp is similar to that of A. flavimanus, and the cymbium also has scopulous setae dorsally. However, both the apical and lateral branch of the tegular apophysis are slimmer in A. avona and the lateral branch bears small teeth on its apical edge. The embolus is much stronger in A. avona than in A. flavimanus. The median part of the epigyne in females is connected to the anterior margins of the epigyne in A. avona, but not in A. flavimanus.

Fauna Portal Reference specimens and Linnean types are shown in red. If you identified a specimen that exceeds the distribution of an undescribed species as illustrated here, please contact the Fauna Portal team who can assist with the lodgement of the specimen in a public institution and display on the map.
