Etymology. The specific name derives from the Latin adjective columnaceus and means columned, in reference to the column-shaped tegular apophysis.
Diagnosis. The new species is similar to A. cylindrogaster , but can be distinguished by the cymbium without divarication; the embolus longer than the latter species (Yoshida, 2003a); conductor membranous, edge sclerotized lightly;
