Remarks

• Systematics: this species is similar to A. dubius (Cockerell, 1896), but differs with smaller number of dorsal setae, especially on the dorsal margin. by the presence of multilocular pores and a smaller number of cruciform pores. There is some similarity with A. eriogoni Dhrhorn, 1911) which has much shorter spines, more heavily sclerotized rim around multilocular pores and a smaller number of cruciform pores.
• Structure: Adult female: body elongate oval, 1.606 mm long and 0.803 mm wide. Antenna apparently 6 segmented with slight sign of division on the 3rd segment. there is one sensory pore on the 2nd segment of the antenna and the 3rd segment is almost parallel sided. On apical segment three sensory falcate setae are found. On the two preapical segments, falcate sensory setae are present. The segments of the antenna are covered with few hairlike setae. Frontal lobe present. Eye situated on venter. Venter: Labium two-segmented. Stylet loop reaches behind the second coxae. Legs long; claw digitules slightly knobbed. Coxae without spinulae, posterior coxae with small number of translucent pores. Trochanter with two pores on each side. Legs with few hairlike setae and with sensory pore on tarsus. disc pores 7-9 locular, distributed in rare bands on all segments of the abdomen and thorax. Venter with a small number of scattered, hair-like setae of two sizes. microtubular duct present only on the margin. Macrotubular ducts of two sizes, present in small number on all segments. Sessile pores present in a submarginal band. Dorsum: Dorsal setae spine-like of different sizes found in one row on most segments. On the margin 2-4 setae present. Macrotubular ducts present in small number on all segments. Microtubular ducts scattered among dorsal setae. Disc pores absent. Anal ring with eight hairlike setae. Anal lobes short, twice as long as wide, with two sine-like setae along inner margin. anal lobes not sclerotized. Suranal setae hair-like. On penultimate segments, before the anal ring, a sclerotized plate absent.
