One syntype is deposited in NMPC (ex coll. Nickerl). SYNTYPE (unsexed specimen): ‘Helfer [hw Kuwert] // Tenasserim / Helfer 56 [hw Nickerl, yellow label] // Nickerl [p] // TYPUS [p, red label, black margin] // hirsutus Kuw. / syntype revised [hw] / S. Boucher det. [p] 13 [hw]’. Current status. Valid species. Remark. Kuwert frequently mixed the localities Tenasserim and Sikkim . KUWERT (1891) indicated only ‘Sikkim’, and KUWERT (1898b) ‘ Sikkim , Assam , Burma’. The species is known from all three of these territories ( GRAVELY 1914 , HINCKS & DIBB 1935 ). The specimen from NMPC belongs to the same species as specimens in Kuwert’s collection. All of them are somewhat larger than stated in the original description but they certainly came from the same original series labelled ‘Helfer’ (see remark under A. ceylonicus for explanation of the mislabelling of the specimens).
