Etymology. The epithet is a noun in apposition that honors Sie, the goddess of water, in the Muisca mythology, indigenous people that inhabited the region where the species was found, in the central Andean highlands of the present-day Colombia's Eastern Range

Diagnosis. Males of A. sie sp. nov. can be easily distinguished from those of the remaining species of the genus by their long, three pointed RTA (Figs 9a–b, 21j–k). Females are similar to those of A. mae sp. nov., A. somondoco sp. nov. and A. sua sp. nov. by their general disposition of internal structures of the epigyne, but can be distinguished by their shorter copulatory ducts, with pear-shaped spermathecae, larger epigynal plate with anteromedial copulatory openings and a posterior single medial pocket (po) (Figs 9c–d, 24f, 24l).
