Remarks
- Systematics: Adult females of A. oumeensis Hodgson & Williams sp. nov. are somewhat similar to those of A. gabonensis but differ in having no small convex closed pores on the venter near each spiracle.
- Structure: The main characteristics of A. oumeensis are as follows: (i) dorsum with three sizes of 8-shaped pore; (ii) large and intermediate-sized 8-shaped pores forming loose swirls throughout most of dorsum; (iii) smallest 8-shaped pores more or less in a curved line through apex of each stigmatic pore band; (iv) margins of posterior abdominal segments each with 6–8 large 8-shaped pores; (v) cribriform plates in an elongate group of four on each side of abdominal segment IV; (vi) leg stubs present; (vii) posterior stigmatic pore bands bifurcated; (viii) multilocular disc-pores in transverse rows across all abdominal segments and metathorax; (ix) multilocular disc-pores also present in a loose line mesad to each spiracle, and (x) antennae without either a cone-like apex or setal cavity.
