Remarks: The currently known distribution of this species encompasses northeastern Laos, northern Vietnam and southeastern China. The “ Yunnan ” record mentioned by ZORN (2006) and ZORN and BEZDĚK (2016) should be disregarded because it was based on material largely bearing false locality labels (see also A. keithi ). However, it occurs in the Chinese provinces of Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Zheijiang ( LIN 2002b).
