038B87E0FFD3FFABFC5FFEEEFAEBF9BC.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The dorsal aspect of the epiproct of A. aracoma is generally similar to that of A. leonarda as noted by Harper & Kirchner (1978), however A. aracoma lacks the enlarged cowl found in A. leonarda and the presence of anterolateral serrae on the epiproct tip clearly separate this species from members of the A. leonarda group. A single male specimen collected by the junior author from Devils Fork, Scott Co., Virginia in 1997 may represent an undescribed sister species to A. aracoma.	en	Willett, Michele R., Stark, Bill P.

038B87E0FFD5FFADFE80FDB0FA7DFEE3.taxon	materials_examined	Material examined. VA: Scott Co., Devils Fork, FR 619, 17 May 1997, B. Stark, 8 ♂, 8 ♀ (BPS). Same site, 19 May 2009, B. Stark, 10 ♂, 6 ♀ (BPS). Scott Co., Big Stony Creek, FR 657, 19 May 2009, B. Stark, 1 ♂ (BPS). Epiproct. Length from base to tip, ca. 266 - 275 μm. Greatest width beyond base, ca. 39 - 46 μm. Greatest apical thickness, ca. 43 μm. Epiproct cowl without enlarged lobes (Figs. 61 - 62, 66); densely setose over most of cowl surface but bare near base of epiproct. Epiproct widest at base (ca. 61 μm) and on subapical cap (ca. 39 μm), but similar in width through most of length (Fig. 62). Most of dorsum covered with a closely appressed, densely setose mat (Figs. 62 - 63, 66), but small basolateral and apical areas, and entire ventral surface bare; apex with a distinctive ventral row of long setae (Figs. 63 - 65) and a median longitudinal patch of additional setae extends onto spiny process laterally or basolaterally (Fig. 63); apex bearing a slightly thickened, multispined process (Figs. 63 - 64).	en	Willett, Michele R., Stark, Bill P.

038B87E0FFD5FFADFE80FDB0FA7DFEE3.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The specimens examined in this study represent the southern most population known for this species, and they exhibit subtle variations from the figures presented by Surdick (2004) and Baumann (1974). A comparative SEM study is needed for several populations to evaluate the extent of variation in the shape, setation and number of serrae for the apical spiny portion of the epiproct.	en	Willett, Michele R., Stark, Bill P.
