Hi, welcome to Spider ID. 🙂 The illustration for the ventral of A. levii in “Bjørn, P. P., 1997” looks like a possibility and under A. flavipalpis it explains there is no included illustration because it would be indistinguishable from A. levii so I’ve filed this to genus.

If A.levii and A.flavipalpis are indistinguishable then should they not be made the same species?
