Specimens examined. Holotype (female) BNHM, Algeria, early 20 th century, J.J. Walker leg (Sharp coll.).

Paratypes. One male (Sharp coll., BNHM) and one female ( BNHM), Algeria , no collector or date on data labels. J.J. Walker collected during his travels as a naval officer during early 20 th century. Given his naval links, it is likely that the A. algeriensis specimens were collected from a coastal region in Algeria .
