Comments. Characters of specimens from Zhejiang and Guangdong provinces matched with the original description of Kusigemati (1985) from Taiwan except for the lower valve of ovipositor with five ridges. In the original description, the lower valve has eight ridges but the ridges are weak and indistinct in specimens from our collection. This species is similar to A. nakula by the face wholly black, and mesosoma largely red, but can be distinguished from the latter by a propodeum with strong and distinct median longitudinal carinae (vs. median longitudinal carinae of propodeum weak), and ovipositor preapically with an even dorsal curvature (vs. ovipositor preapically with a weak dorsal angle).
