Diagnosis
The specimen from Woombye that was only tentatively included by Theischinger (1986) in A. minnamurrae is undoubtedly an undescribed species. Unfortunately, this specimen has been lost. The Bunya Mts specimen possesses gonostyli with broad bases, similar to the Woombye species illustrated by Theischinger (1986, fig. 48). However all other key characters (e.g., shape of gonocoxal plate, lateral epandrial lobe) are very similar to that typical of A. minnamurrae.
