Remarks.
This species is very similar to
A. jinghongensis
(
Li & Li, 2011
)
externally, but it can be distinguished from the latter by: 1) lorum (
Fig. 4
) black at base, pale in latter; 2) each forewing (
Figs 1, 2
) with 2 thick stripes, latter with 4 thin stripes; 3) aedeagal (
Fig. 7
) ventral apophysis in lateral view smaller than in latter, shape also different.
Etymology.
The specific epithet, a combination of “basis” meaning basal, and “nigra” meaning black, refers to the lorum being black at base in these insects.
