NOTE. This species was firstly described from the Gia Lai Province of Vietnam (Gorochov, 1994). Later, an additional “species” of this subgenus was described from the Surat

Thani Province of Thailand (Ingrisch, 1998: A. pellucida ). According to the latter author, its difference from Gorochov’s species is insignificant: male cerci “with a rounded, subapicointernal swelling” (vs. “with a subacute, subapico-internal tooth”). Really, the paratypes of

Ingrisch’s “species” has this “swelling” slightly longer than in the author’s pictures and almost angular at the apex ( Fig. 176 ); i.e. this structure is almost as the tooth in my specimens from Cambodia and Thailand in length but barely or slightly shorter than in my

Vietnamese specimens. However, all my males (except for Ingrisch’s paratype) have an acute apical denticle on this tooth ( Fig. 175 ). So, I consider that now this subgenus includes only a single rather widely distributed species, which may be divided into two subspecies: A.

(P.) propria propria (Southern Indochina including northern part of Malay Peninsula; Figs

69, 92–96, 174, 175, 188) and A. (P.) propria pellucida Ingrisch, 1998 , stat. n. (central part of Malay Peninsula; Fig. 176 ).
