Type locality.

"Momeit, Burmah".

Remarks.

We could not find the type specimens in the NHM. According to the original description they are in Aldrich’s collection, which is housed in the Michigan Museum (Dance 1986). We contacted the Dr. Taehwan Lee (Michigan Museum) who reported that the type sample of A. dohertyi could not be found in the UMMZ. We classify this species in Dicharax because the original description did not mention spiral striation, which rules out Metalycaeus , and mentions that it has a rather long tube, which rules out Cycloryx (= Pincerna ). The crenulated peristome is characteristic for many Dicharax species.
