Systematics: A. insleyae looks very similar to that of , both having two types of dorsal 8-shaped pores, 1 elongate and present almost throughout, and the other rounded and restricted to near each stigmatic pore band. However, closer study shows that they are otherwise very different. In addition to the above, A. insleyae has the following combination of character-states: (i) dorsal 8-shaped pores sparse and not in obvious whorls, (ii) large 8-shaped pores absent; (iii) two cribriform plates present on each side of abdominal segment IV; (iv) leg stubs present; (v) each stigmatic pore band with fewer than 100 pores, each band lacking minute 8-shaped pores; (vi) posterior stigmatic bands bifurcated; (vii) multilocular disc-pores extremely few, restricted to submarginally on metathorax and abdominal segments II and III; (viii) all setae on anal lobes much longer than usual, and with both antero- and medioventral setae present on ventral surface of each lobe, and (ix) each antenna with a strong conical point on apex but no setal cavity.
