(adjective), Latin for “spear-like”
Diagnosis.
Shape as in
A. apicenotata
. Pale yellow, faded to ivory on venter and tegmina, marked with prominent brown patch occupying posterior half of pronotum except for humeral angles, extending forwards as 4 blunt serrations that extend to anterior third; tegmen shiny, punctures most evident on costal plaque; a bold arrowhead-shaped dark brown patch covering crossvein m-cu and extending to midlength of anteapical cell and surrounded by paler area in membrane behind arcuate pale brown band extending from end of clavus, curving forward to costa; tip of tegmen edged with black. Tylus broadly rounded, crown three-quarters as long as wide; head much narrower (0.65 ×) than pronotum; antenna with coeloconic sensillae grouped in a large pit situated low on postpedicel, and basiconic sensillum tiny, button-shaped (
Fig. 28
C). Tegminal veins carinate apically (
Fig. 3
A), first apical cell divided by a crossvein, distinctly wider at base than preceding costal cell (in turn divided by 3 distinct crossveins), and inner anteapical cell broadly triangular, two-thirds as wide as long, and with a distinct bulla near sinuation of Cu; a second, weaker bulla closing base of second anteapical cell; hind wing as in
A. apicenotata
but with 2 hooks on costal lobe and 2 others on costal margin distad of lobe. Ovipositor
1.6 mm
long, robust, evenly tapered on apical two-thirds to a narrow point, with a very low tooth on dorsal margin just beyond midlength (

Remarks.
The antenna of the
holotype
differs considerably from that of the genotype, as does the ovipositor shape, although these two specimens were taken on the same mountain at the same time of year (although about a century apart).
