Diagnosis: The female of this species is variable in shape of clypeal margin and maculation of clypeus, but T6 is distinctly elevated alone midline, apex strongly bilobed ( Fig. 28f ); the male has the apical process of S8 bifid ( Fig. 29h ).

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.
