Diagnosis. Small-sized compared to the congeners in Sinensis Group (
Fig. 7L
;
9H
). Proximal two thirds of stridulatory file on underside of male left tegmen with 41 distinct teeth which gradually becoming larger centrad (
Fig. 1I
). Mirror of male right tegmen not concealed beneath pronotum, with a sclerotized transverse vein in proximal one-ninth (
Fig. 2H
). Male tenth abdominal tergum with a comparatively wide “trumpet”-shaped notch (
Fig. 4G
). Male cercus robust at base, equally narrowed to a slightly incurved obtuse pointed apex; internal uncinate tooth situated basad of centre (
Fig. 3H
). Apical margin of male subgenital plate with a wide, shallow “V”- shaped notch between styli, notch one-third of length of stylus (
Fig. 11G
).
Description.
Holotype
. Male. Disc of prozona slightly convex, metazona approximately flat. Pronotum narrowest in proximal one-third, and then abruptly ampliate caudad. Lateral lobes of pronotum longer than high, deepest at middle; anterior margin very slightly concave, posterior margin oblique with a very indistinct central concavity, ventral margin slanting caudad to posterior angle. Tegmen extending to caudal margin of the second abdominal tergum when at rest, with a reticulation of poorly defined veins; posterior portion convex (
Fig. 7L
;
9H
). Middle femur with 1 external ventral spine in apical one-third. Hind femur with 2 exterior and 7 interior ventral spines. Fore tibia with 3 dorsal spines on exterior margin and 6 ventral spines on both margins. Middle tibia with 6 ventral spines on both margins, 2 exterior and 4 interior spines on dorsal margins. Hind tibia with 9 exterior and 8 interior spines on dorsal margins.
Coloration. Similar to
A. (A.) jixiani
sp. n.
, except testaceous disc of pronotum and grayish brown abdominal tergite.
Female unknown.
Notes. The new species resembles A.
jixiani
sp. n.
and
A. minor
sp. n.
in the coloration and body size, but distinctly differs by the male stridulatory apparatus and male abdominal apex.
Etymology. The new species is named for its
type
locality.
Distribution.
