Materials Examined
Type:Holotype male, Isla Colón (9 º 20 ’ N, 82 º 15 ’W), Panamá, R. Gabriel, 13 Apr 2004, deposited in MIF. Etymology: The specific epithet is a patronym in honor of Ruben Blades (born 1948) a famous singer and composer from Panama.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis: Male differs from that of A. caxiuana by the orientation of the embolus (which ends almost perpendicularly to papal organ axis); from A. yupanquii by the shorter apical portion of the palpal organ and the prolateral inferior keel having a non-serrated edge (Figs 19–20); from A. obscura by well-developed prolateral keels on the palpal organ; and from A. pijaos by having only two prolateral keels on the palpal organ. Female unknown. Related to A. obscurus and the clade A. yupanqui +, in an unresolved polytomy (see Cladistics).
