Size
A. leucillana would be more like 10mm. If it was closer to 20 mm, I think A schlaegeri is more likely. There is some overlap so if you think this may have been closer to 10 mm, it should probably be left at the genus level.

A schlaegeri
I am not sure so have erred on the side of caution and changed the entry to genus only...Does the Common name change too?

Common Name
A. leucillana has a different common name and I am not aware of the genus having a common name so I would remove the common name. Then again, I'm too lazy to add the common names, so I may not be the right person to ask.
