Remarks:
This species was treated and illustrated in
Garrison & von Ellenrieder (2015)
.
von Ellenrieder & Garrison (2007)
followed by
Heckman (2008)
illustrated the appendages of a male in the RBINS with the manuscript name "
lateralis
" by Selys as
A. huanacina
. This is incorrect. Subsequent examination of these specimens showed the manuscript name
lateralis
Selys to represent
A. infrequentula
as can be seen by comparing
Figs. 6
l-n from
von Ellenrieder & Garrison (2007)
and Fig. 3.1.
427 in
Heckman (2008)
to

and

in

.
This species is most similar to
A. selysi
and is diagnosed under that species. Though largely allopatric with
A. selysi
, a male
A. huanacina
has been collected in southern
Ecuador
(
Fig. 140
) representing a new record for that country.
