Diagnosis
Males of A. inglewood sp. nov. can be distinguished from all species for which males are known except A. fuscochelicera sp. nov., A. nigrochelicera sp. nov., and A. rubrochelicera sp. nov. by a moderate to large body size (carapace length>4.0 mm), the presence of a short embolus (embolus length/ bulb length <1.5) that is short, thick, and relatively straight, and a small, triangular tibial spur (Fig. 86L–Q). Males of A. inglewood can be distinguished from those of A. fuscochelicera, A. nigrochelicera, and A. rubrochelicera. by the presence of a longer, more curved embolus (embolus length / bulb length>1) (Fig. 86L–M; cf. Figs 84, 87, 90).
Females of A. inglewood sp. nov. are unknown.
Etymology
The specific epithet ‘ inglewood ’ is a noun in apposition, referencing the type locality of this species.

Distribution and natural history
Aname inglewood sp. nov. occurs in southern Queensland, in the Brigalow Belt South bioregion, where it is known from two locations, one near Inglewood and another further west near Weengallon (Fig. 12). The form of burrows constructed by spiders of this species is unknown, but is likely to be similar to that of other rubrochelicera -complex species (Fig. 12).
