Lars, As far as I know, Marco Lacerda was the first exporter to collect and ship A. pulchra. It is indeed an A. agassizii-group species that looks much like a round tailed aggie, only the tail is covered by a lace like pattern of spots. Check: http://w5.dj.net.tw/~iris/a_pulch.JPG for a picture of this species.
