Remarks
. Although this species was reported previously to be widespread in
China
(
Tang, 1992
;
Wang, 2001
;
Wu, 2001
),
Williams and Miller (2002)
only recorded it from Guangzhou city, Guangdong province. Specimens identified as
A. crawi
by
Tang (1977)
, collected from Beijing, have been found to be a misidentification of
A
.
socialis
, and it is likely that the records from Hunan Province (
Hu
et al.
, 1992
) are also a misidentification of
A. socialis
. The specimens identified by
Wu (2001)
as
A. crawi
are a misidentification of either
A. nakaharai
Williams & Miller
or
