Aname attenuata (Rainbow & Pulleine, 1918) stat. rev. Figs 1, 6, 18–20 Dolichosternum attenuatum Rainbow & Pulleine, 1918: 169, pl. 24 figs 121–122. Aname distincta (Rainbow, 1914) – Raven 1981: 338 (synonymised Dolichosternum Rainbow & Pulleine, 1918 with Aname L. Koch, 1873; synonymy of A. attenuata (Rainbow & Pulleine, 1918) with A. distincta (Rainbow, 1914) here rejected); 1985a: figs 19, 36, 48, 67–69 (illustrated male QMB S1267 [Eidsvold region], and illustrated females QMB S1263 [Cooyar], QMB S1268 [Gailes], EUQ [Bunya Mountains], all here identified as A. attenuata (Rainbow & Pulleine, 1918)). Aname “MYG684” – Rix et al. 2021: figs 3, 5, 7. Diagnosis Males of A. attenuata can be distinguished from all species for which males are known except A. blackdownensis, A. convoluta sp. nov., A. ferruginea sp. nov., A. giraulti, A. intermedia sp. nov., A. pallida, and A. vigilata sp. nov. by a moderate to large body size (carapace length>4.0 mm), and the presence of a long embolus (embolus length /bulb length>1.5), a proximal excavation less than or equal to half the length of metatarsus I, and a prominent and sharp heel on metatarsus I (Fig. 18Q). Males of A. attenuata can be distinguished from those of A. ferruginea, A. giraulti, and A. pallida by the presence of an embolus that is not reflexed and does not have a small hook at the tip, and the presence of thorn-like setae along the retrolateral edge of the asetose depression on the palp tibia (Fig. 18K–M; cf. Figs 15, 25, 27). Males of A. attenuata can be distinguished from those of A. blackdownensis, A. intermedia, and A. vigilata by the presence of a copulatory organ with an un-demarcated embolus, such that the bulb tapers gradually into the curving embolus (Fig. 18L; cf. Figs 21, 29, 33). Males of A. attenuata can be distinguished from those of A. convoluta by the presence of a shorter embolus (embolus length/ bulb length <2.0) (Fig. 18L; cf. Fig. 23). Females of A. attenuata can be distinguished from all species for which females are known except A. blackdownensis, A. convoluta sp. nov., and A. platensis sp. nov. by the presence of spermathecae with two vesicles, with relatively long and straight lateral vesicles (lateral vesicle length /genitalia width>0.25), and long medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / lateral vesicle length>1.0) that project at an antero-medial angle (Figs 19L, 20L). Females of A. attenuata can be distinguished from those of A. convoluta by the presence of spermathecae with less elongate medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / genitalia width <0.5) (Figs 19L, 20L; cf. Fig. 24). Females of A. attenuata can be distinguished from those of A. blackdownensis by the absence of bristle-like setae covering the posterior part of the abdomen (Figs 19B, D, 20B, D; cf. Fig. 22). Females of A. attenuata can be distinguished from those of A. platensis by the presence of spermathecae with thinner, undulating medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / width ~4.1; cf. ~ 3.3 in A. platensis) (Figs 19L, 20L; cf. Fig. 32). Type material Holotype AUSTRALIA – Queensland • ♀; Eidsvold; 25°22′ S, 151°07′ E; AMS KS8213.
