MATERIAL. Holotype – ♂, Indonesia: East Kalimantan, ~ 20 km N of Balikpapan City ,

Bukit Bangkirai Park, 1º1ʹ43ʹʹ S, 116º51ʹ49ʹʹ E, secondary forest on hills, on forest bush at night, 4–8.X 2015, A. Gorochov, M. Berezin, I. Kamskov, E. Tkatscheva ( ZIN). Paratype –

same data as for holotype, ♀ ( ZIN) .

DESCRIPTION. Female (holotype). General appearance very similar to that of female of

A. (E.) namlik but with following differences: head slightly shorter and barely lighter (especially in median part of anterior surface of epicranium), with brownish spots on upper half of clypeus (Fig. 57); ventral edges of lateral pronotal lobes almost as in A. (E.) signata ; fore tibia with almost completely darkened dorsal surface; tegmina invisible; cerci shorter and with proximal two thirds almost inflated; genital plate with a pair of somewhat smaller ventral convexities (instead inflations), with posteromedian lobule having a pair of almost acute denticles around very small posterior notch, and with widely rounded posterolateral projections (lobes) almost reaching apices of latter denticles ( Fig. 78 ). Ovipositor practically indistinguishable from that of A. (E.) namlik ( Fig. 187 ).

Variations. Second female slightly smaller and lighter.

Male unknown.

MEASUREMENTS. Length (in mm). Body 23–25.5; pronotum 6.6–7.2; hind pronotal lobe 1.1–1.2; hind femora 12.5–14; ovipositor 9–9.5.

COMPARISON. The new species is very similar to A. (E.) namlik , but it differs from the latter species in the characters listed above. In female genital plate, A. (? E.) bangkirai is most similar to A. (? E.) gonioda from Northern Vietnam but distinguished by the posteromedian notch of this plate distinctly smaller, and lobules around it more acute. The latter characters as well as more projected posterolateral parts of this plate (located around the above-mentioned lobules) distinguish the new species from all the other congeners with known females.

ETYMOLOGY. This species is named after the Bukit Bangkirai Park, its type locality.
