Fauna Portal Image No. 4300Diagnosis
(after Framenau & Douglas 2021): The species is somatically similar to A. whitehouseae as both are almost uniformly black with the exception of lateral light bands on the carapace and a narrow, irregular median band on the abdomen. However, the tegular apophysis of the male pedipalp is distinctly different in A. bogabilla as it is bent midway in almost 90 degrees, whereas it is almost straight in A. whitehouseae. Females of both species are currently unknown.
