Hyena Long-patella Ant Jumper
The active roaming habit and colouration of this spider, known only from females, bring to mind the image of a hyena, with white and yellowish-brown bands against an overall black background colour of this female. Like female A. constrictus, the abdomen is only slightly constricted, and a fringe of white hairs is similarly located on the basal part (nearer the body) of tarsi IV.
