Franganillo (1936) simply cites A. bicolor as occurring in Cuba with no further data. Probably his citation is based upon Lutz's paper, to which he refers.

Carapace, ster- num, and all appendages yellow to orange, slightly darker on first legs, chelicerae, and palpal tarsus (palps entirely light in male). Abdomen dusky yellow beneath and on sides, purplish gray above and around spinnerets ventrally. Structure. Dimensions of two males: total length , mm; carapace length , mm; carapace width , mm; sternum length , mm; sternum width , mm. Dimensions of lour females and two last instar juveniles: total length mm, mean mm; carapace length mm, mean mm; carapace width mm, mean mm; sternum length mm, mean mm, sternum width mm, mean mm. Male palp. The bulb is quite small and the tibia moderately inflated, the diameter of the bulb equalling times the tibial diameter or less. The midpiece of the bulb is longer than either the spine or the depth of the bulb, and equals or slightly exceeds the length of the tibia. Male first leg. The tarsus and meta- tarsus are sinuous and slender. The middle third of the metatarsus is swollen. The inflation of the podomere is greatest at two-thirds of the distance from base to tip of the metatarsus. At this point, and opposite each other, are two ventrolateral protuberances; these are greatly enlarged spine sockets, each bearing a short thick spine. The distal pair of metat
