• A. fischeri ( (Beijerinck 1889) Urbanczyk et al. 2007, (type species of the genus).; named after Bernhard Fischer, one of the earliest students of luminescent bacteria.) ^[4]
• A. logei ( (Harwood et al. 1980) Urbanczyk et al. 2007, ; Neo-Latin logei, of Loge; from German Loge, Norse god of fire and mischief.) ^[4]
