Diagnosis. Males of A. aquafrigida have a proctiger with two pairs of caudally directed projections and a round tip ( Fig. 22 View FIGURES 22 – 35 ). Further, the male profemur has three distinct hair patches ( Fig. 8 View FIGURES 8 – 21 ), whereas A. javanica Lundblad has a single hair patch and A. brevifasciata , A. cristata , and A. riparia each have two hair patches. Males of A. aquafrigida have the proximal hair patch smaller than the other patches, whereas in A. speciosa it is more than twice as large as the other patches.
Discussion. Amemboa aquafrigida is known only from Thailand and has been recorded from Nam Nao NP in Phetchabun and Chaiyaphum provinces ( Zettel & Chen 1997, Chen et al. 2006). In this study, this species was collected from rock pools and margins of streams in Nam Nao NP and Na Haew NP. Thus, this species appears to be endemic to the upper part of the Phetchabun Mountain Range. This species occurred synoptically with A. velaris in the stream behind the visitor center in Nam Nao NP and with A. riparia in a rock pool above Tahd Heuang International Waterfall in Na Haew NP.
