Etymology

The genus contains 2 species (including basonyms and synonyms), namely[2]
- A. lectus (Nedashkovskaya et al. 2004, (Type species of the genus).; Latin masculine gender adjective lectus, chosen, selected, referring to a bacterium that forms select, beautiful colonies.)[3]
- A. mikhailovii (Nedashkovskaya et al. 2007, ; New Latin masculine gender genitive case noun mikhailovii, of Mikhailov, in honour of Valery V. Mikhailov, a Russian microbiologist, for his contributions to the development of marine microbiology.)[4]
