large bristles, much stronger than the dorsocentrals, but with 
no trace of the second pair. Second abdominal segment slightly 
lengthened; third to sixth of equal length; dorsum and sides 
without hairs or bristles, except for some small hairs on the sixth 
segment. Hypopygium smooth, without bristles; apical lamella 
of moderate size, with two upturned bristly hairs at tip; when 
well extruded the hypopygium shows two large ventral hook- 
shaped pieces and one or two long slender curved bristles below 
and above near the base. Propleura with several stout bristles 
just above the coxa and one very small one above near the 
spiracle; mesopleura with a patch of bristly hairs above and 
one very large backwardly directed bristle at the lower posterior 
corner of the bristly area. Wing rather broad, evenly oval. 
Costa two-fifths as long as the wing, closely ciliate, the cilia 
short at base, but apically somewhat longer than the second 
costal division; first division one and one-half times as long as 
the other two together; second barely longer than the third; 
second vein rising abruptly to the costa; third vein very widely 
separated from the costa at the base; fourth vein weakly and 
evenly curved, recurved at extreme tip; fifth weakly bisinuate, 
ending as far from the wing tip as the fourth; sixth strongly 
bisinuate; seventh curved, long. Front legs with the tarsi 
thickened, the metatarsus nearly as thick as the tibia; middle 
tibia with six or seven very small setae on basal three fourths; 
hind tibia with a series of about eleven, very minute basally but 
longer beyond the middle of the tibia; hair-seam along the 
posterior edge curved outwards toward the tip. 
Female essentially like the male, but larger, 1.5 mm. in 
length; dorsal abdominal plates, including that of the third 
segment of full width. 
Male type and five paratypes and two females from Anping, 
Formosa (Sauter) collected during April and May 1912. 
On account of the bisetose scutellum, very short costa and 
bristly mesopleura with one large bristle this species is close to 
three European species described by Wood. From A. hirsuta it 
differs by the pale palpi; from A. spinata by the long costal 
cilia and shorter first section of costa; and from A. pectoralis 
by the pale palpi . These species are widely separated in Wood’s
