Comments: The male of A. whartoni is similar to that of A. cautum 2OPL, ƚ994. 7KH main difference concerns the dorsal membranous process of parameres: hairy ( Fig. 2 ) in A. whartoni, KDLUOHVV (¿JV 4, ƽ LQ 2OPL ƚ994 b) in A. cautum . The new species was compared with the holotype of A. cautum IURP 0DGDJDVFDU, %HUHQW\ (%01+).
