Type.

Holotype. ♂ (IZCAS-Ar39681), China, Hainan Province, Wuzhishan City, Wuzhishan Nature Reserve, Diewupo, 17.V.2019, Dongdong Wang leg.

Paratypes. 1♂1♀ (IZCAS-Ar39682-Ar39683), same data as holotype; 1♂2♀ (IZCAS-Ar39684-Ar39686) China, Hainan Province, Wuzhishan City, Nansheng Town, Maoxiang Village, 18.V.2019, Dongdong Wang leg.

Etymology.

The species is named after Mr Dongdong Wang, the collector of the holotype; noun (name) in genitive case.

Diagnosis.

The males resemble A. zhuanghaoyuni sp. nov. but can be distinguished from other species by the ratio of the length of the embolic opening to the length of the embolic tip fold, which is 1:6 in A. wangi sp. nov. and 1:8 in A. zhuanghaoyuni sp. nov. The fold is more developed in A. wangi sp. nov. (Fig. 21C, D View Figure 21 ). The median plate is triangular in A. wangi sp. nov. and subtriangular in A. zhuanghaoyuni sp. nov. (Figs 12 View Figure 12 , 19 View Figure 19 ).
