Systematics: This species is close to Allotrionymus rostellum (Lobdell, 1930), but oral collar tubular ducts of two sizes in the former, of one size in the latter. (Wu, 2000) Zhang transferred Allotrionymus shanxiensis to Atrococcus based on the the synonymy of Danzig & Gavriov-Zimin (2015). We are leaving it in Allotrionymus until the confusion concerning the two genera is resolved.
