IIt 1 with ventral and anterior rows of stiff hairs, IIt 2 shorter than IIIt 3 . Description: Very similar to A. bandia in all respects including morphology of hypopygium, except for the following features. (All specimens are quite discolourated due to long-term storage in alcohol.) Male. Body length 2.0 mm (in alcohol). Antenna 1.5 mm . Wing 1.4 mm long, 0.6 mm wide. Head. Antenna ( Fig. 5 ): 10, 7, 15, 20, 102; stylus with apical lamella. Wing. CuAx proportion 0.07. Legs. It: 1.5, 1.0, 0.6, 0.6, 0.6. IIt: 3.6, 0.7, 1.4, 1.0, 0.7. IIIt: 2.3, 2.0, 1.5, 1.1, 0.9.
