Figs 1A–1D
Diagnosis. The male genitalia of the new species are similar to those of
A
.
abbreviatus
Ulmer 1931
found in
Java
,
Indonesia
, but can be distinguished from them by characters of segment IX and the inferior appendages. In
A
.
abbreviatus
, the posterodorsal end of segment IX is truncate in lateral view, but it is slightly downcurved and acute apically in the new species. The inferior appendages of
A
.
abbreviatus
are oval in lateral view, but those of the new species are long and rectangular, each with a short, apically rounded process apicoventrally. In ventral view, each inferior appendage of the new species has a pointed spine ventromedially and two stout spines apically, but has no spine ventromedially and is pointed apically in
