Description

It only grows to approximately in length. It is spotted with yellow dots and often red-brown at the edge of its pereonites. It has a wide telson, which is roundly truncated. Its first pereonite is chamfered, unlike those of other species, like A. vulgare, whose first pereonite is smoothly pointed. Its volvation is not perfect, meaning it leaves a small gap when it rolls up.
