A. basilongus Santos sp. nov., A. foveapertus Santos sp. nov., A. artus Santos sp. nov., A. basilargus Santos sp. nov., A. cepus Santos sp. nov. and A. ramosus Santos sp. nov. were described and illustrated. Sixteen previously described species were analyzed and had their distribution broadened: A. amazonicus Westwood, 1874, A. bifidus Evans, 1966, A. bipartitus Santos & Azevedo, 2000, A. delicatus Evans, 1966, A. dentatus Santos & Azevedo, 2000, A. divisus Santos, 2002, A. inconspicuus Santos, 2002, A. lobatus Santos & Azevedo, 2000, A. longimerus Santos & Azevedo, 2000, A. nigripes Evans, 1966, A. proteus Evans, 1966, A. rotundus Santos, 2002, A. similis Santos & Azevedo, 2000, A. triangularis Moreira & Azevedo, 2003, A. trinitatis Evans, 1966 and A. tuberosus Santos & Azevedo, 2000.
