Diagnosis. Females of A. trinotatus are characterized by the asymetrical seminal receptacles, bilobed or trilobed; receptacles subquadrate, parallel to each other, without lateral swelling (Fig. 220 A); crown of thorns on the patella III interrupted in prolateral and retrolateral faces (Fig. 219 A).

Anterior eye row procurved, posterior row recurved.Many long bristles and short bristles between AME-clypeus, forming two slightly procurved rows in interdistances PME–PME and PLE–PLE. Short bristles between AMEclypeus and between lateral eyes-edge of carapace. Long bristles in chilum (Fig. 218 B). Sternum with eight sigilla strongly fused medially (Fig. 218 C). Rastellum protuberant, digitiform, hirsute, with short spines along retrolateral edge of rastellum and dorsally covered by small short spines (Fig. 218 E–F).
