Remarks

• Systematics: Slide-mounted adult female with: enlarged setae cylindrical, apices truncate or slightly rounded, marginal setae conspicuously larger than other setae on dorsum, 3 lateral setae on margin of each abdominal segment; microtubular ducts small with 2 sclerotized areas (Danzig, 1962). "Probably the suggestion (Dziedzicka & Koteja, 1971) that "A. herbaceus is only a variety of A. insignis is justified"(Danzig, 1986a).
• Structure: Ovisac is elongate-oval, white. Adult female is elongate-oval, greenish (Kosztarab & Kozár,1988).
• Biology: This is a rare boreal species. Females have been collected each month from June through September in Poland (Kosztarab & Kozár, 1988).
• General Remarks: Detailed description by Danzig (1962) and Kosztarab & Kozár (1988).
