diagnosis
Diagnosis. A. sepilok sp. nov. belongs to the stripe-clade and can be distinguished from other species of this clade by the combination of the following traits: carapace without spikes; carapace margin with blunt denticles, sluice restricted to posterior margin (Fig. 46 B); epigastric scutum in females posterolaterally with a pair of single curved ridges (cr) (Fig. 47 E). The granulate surface of the carapace sides and the tiny eyes seperate the new species from all congeners.
