One of the outstanding features of the species is the genitalia of the males. “This new species is similar to members of a clade within the genus exemplified by A. knischi…and unique in having similar, extremely complicated male genitalia…”

Didn’t he have a spider named after him too? He SO needs to have one of those beetles fight the spider!
