Holotype female mac., China , Heilongjiang Province , Greater Khingan , Nanwenghe national Nature Reserves ( 51°22.83'N , 124°34.24'E ), 21.vii.2017 , from grasses (Jun Wang). Paratypes : 1 female mac., 6 female mic., 1 male mic same data as holotype; Sanjiang Plain (45°01.08'– 48°27.93'N , 130°13.17'– 135°05.43'E ), 7.vii.2017 , 9 female mac., 6 female mic., 1 male mac. from grasses ( Jun Wang ); Mohe , Tuqiang town ( 52°56.85'N , 122°46.73'E ), 21.vii.2017 , 1 female mac., 4 female mic., 1 male mac., 4 male mic. from grasses ( Jun Wang ), same locality and habitat 1 female mac., 1 female mic., 1 male mac., 1 male mic., 12.viii.2018 (Jun Wang). Distribution. China ( Heilongjiang ). Etymology. The Latin word oroqeni derived from a minority of Oroqen Ethnic Group, who live in the type locality. Remarks. This new species is closely similar to the Japanese species A. ponokikirmui in having 9-segmented antennae, metanotum without campaniform sensilla and abdominal tergite VIII with complete posteromarginal comb and the microtrichia having wide bases. However, this new species can be distinguished as follows: abdominal tergite X yellowish ( Fig. 45 ) but brown in A. ponokikirmui , tergites II–VII with lobes on posterior margin, but larger laterally ( Fig. 39 ), in contrast to separated serrations in A. ponokikirmui .
