Remarks.

These female specimens likely represent a new species, closely resembling A. geisthardti Herrmann & Háva, 2017 . However, the species is not described in this study due to the unavailability of a male specimen, which is necessary for a comprehensive taxonomic description.

Distribution.

The species is found at elevations ranging from 601 to 633 m a. s. l. and is distributed in the central region (Qassim and Riyadh provinces) and the northern region (Jouf Province) of Saudi Arabia (Fig. 7 View Figure 7 ).
