CP4617, 25 June 2015, 16°20.98'N, 60°44.95'W, 874-830 m, MNHN-IU-2013-19082; st.

Comment: Rostrum length seems to be variable in this species as observed in specimens attributed here to A. antillensis with hesitation because of their very short rostrum (MNHN-IU-19082, 19159, 19160). Specimen MNHN-IU-2013-18791 has an abnormal armament on dorsal surface of rostrum, with 2 proximal spines instead of 3 for A. antillensis typical; overall its general morphology is that of A. antillensis typical that was also recognized at the same station.
