Japan: 2 ♂, Okinawa, Iriomote-jima, Airagawa, Komi, 2012.VI.2, Liu Xingyue (CAU).

Diagnosis.

Stripes below toruli absent; clypeal markings indistinct or absent, if present, contiguous with indistinct genal markings. Pro-, meso-, metibia with median markings. Both wings with yellowish marking patterns. First intramedian cell very long and narrow. General width of gonarcus narrow; entoprocessus attached at basal fourth of gonarcus, about 3/4 times as long as gonarcus; pseudopenis long and straight, about two times as long as entoprocessus.

Distribution.

China (Guangxi, Yunnan); Japan (Okinawa).

Remarks.

This species is newly recorded from China. Tsukaguchi (1995) stated that two forewing m-cu crossveins are present before first intramedian cell. However, this character is variable among individuals of this species based on the specimens we examined. Other external diagnostic characters and genital characters in the Chinese specimens fit well with the original description, which confirms our identification of this species.

This species is similar to A. gracilis , based on the long and narrow first intramedian cell, but differs from the latter two species by the absence of markings on frons between antennae (present in A. doleschalii , and A. gracilis ), the yellowish wing marking pattern (wing marking pattern much darker in A. doleschalii , and A. gracilis ) and the narrow general width of gonarcus (strongly broad in A. gracilis ).
