External morphology

Lateral palps. Size 33 mm x 21 mm

A. Dolium has a wider oral groove than either A. thinicola, or A. brysi. Combined with the narrow body common to all three, its jaws are relatively fragile. It is hypothesized that this characteristic is the reason for the rarity of A. dolium. Only a single specimen has been observed. Discovered and described by occlupanologist C. Huning of DWORC.
