Paratype ♀ , ( Fig. 24 ): Sao Thome, Sept. – Oct. 1926 ., T.A. Barnes , ( NHMUK ) ; 1♂ – 1303 m , Antenna , Bom successo , 0°16′33.7″N , 6°36′19.7″E , 21.x.2016 , MV Light Trap , leg. Turner, C.

Remarks The extent of the differences between the male genitalia of A. thomensis and A. cameroona justify the species level distinction between the two taxa (Figs 39‒42) which was recognised by Schintlmeister & Witt (2015) who raised it to species rank.
