Diagnosis: The male of A. pogonophora is easily recognised by the tongue-like, laterally pointing apicodorsal tibial apophysis and the female by the small, protruding epigyne with strongly diverging lateral lobes.
Description: Female (male well described by Locket 1968): Small, dark, long legged species (TL = 1.33, CL = 0.57, CW = 0.43). Carapace dark, blackish brown; abdomen uniform greenish black; legs pale yellowish, strongly suffused with black. Epigyne small, protruding with strongly diverging lateral lobes.
Distribution: Previously known only from Angola (Locket, 1968). The first records of the species from Seychelles are from Alphonse and Poivre Atoll.
