Fauna Portal Image No. 14793Diagnosis
(after Prado, Baptista & Framenau, 2026): Females of A. reniformis resemble those of A. lineata. Both species have a very broad median septum with short and narrower subrectangular anterior portion and a long and wide rounded posterior portion. However, the epigyne of A. reniformis has heavily sclerotized lateral lobes projected mesally close to the anterior subrectangular portion of the median septum, while in A. lineata the lateral lobes are less conspicuous and less sclerotized, not projecting mesally.
