(after Framenau & Baehr 2018): Artoria gloriosa is similar to A. albopilata; however, the tegular apophysis of the male pedipalp of A. gloriosa lacks the apical lower tip present in A. albopilata. The tip of the embolus of A. gloriosa is blunt, whereas it is sharp and sickle-shaped in A. albopilata. The median septum of the female epigyne of A. gloriosa does not fill out the whole atrium as in A. albopilata but is truncated anteriorly.
