Type locality. China: Yunnan: Lijiang: Baishui [River] .

Distribution: China (Yunnan, Sichuan).

Floral association: unknown.

Remarks: Wu (2004) described A. (A.) furcatum and A. (A.) striatum based on specimens of the opposite sex. We confirm here that A. (A.) furcatum and A. (A.) striatum are conspecific based on both sexes co-occurring simultaneously at several sites. Because A. furcatum Wu, 2004 is an unavailable junior primary homonym of A. furcatum Ducke, 1908 , A. (A.) striatum Wu, 2004 is the valid name.
