Frontal portion of head with several long setae; pronotum and elytra with dense long setation; abdominal tergites with regular, short and moderately dense pubescence.</p> <p>Head 1.7 times as broad as long, distinctly flattened in middle and slightly elevated on infraorbital ridges; anteocellar foveae (grooves in front of ocelli) narrow and very long, diagonally stretching toward antennal bases to about level of anterior margins of eyes. Ocelli large, located at level of posterior margins of eyes near occipital furrow, distance between ocelli about as long as distance between ocellus and posterior margin of eye or slightly longer. Eyes very large, convex. Apical segment of maxillary palpi 1.1–1.3 times as long as preceding segment, from basal portion gradually narrowed apicad.

Protarsomeres 1–4 wide. Medial margin of apical half of protibia with two parallel rows of several short peg setae; mesotibia strongly curved mediad, with dense row of 17–21 very short thorns beginning from medial side of bend and stretching to apex of mesotibia. Apical margin of abdominal tergite VIII truncate. Apical margin of abdominal sternite VIII slightly concave.

Abdominal tergite VIII and sternite VIII with truncate or rounded apical margin.</p> <p>Comparative notes. Based on the general shape of the body and apical portion of the median lobe, it is similar to Chinese A. subaequale Shavrin &amp; Smetana, 2018 (Shaanxi), A. cuccodoroi Shavrin, 2022 (Yunnan), and the Himalayan A. altivagans Cameron, 1941 (India: Kashmir) and A. telnovi Shavrin, 2021 (Nepal). From A. subaequale it differs by the less transverse pronotum, and shorter and narrower parameres. From A. cuccodoroi, A. altivagans and A. telnovi it differs by the absence of the large sclerotized teeth in the internal sac. Additionally, it can be distinguished from:</p> <p>A. cuccodoroi by the less transverse pronotum, longer elytra, and significantly shorter parameres;</p> <p>A. altivagans by the longer antennomeres and shorter elytra;</p> <p>A. telnovi by the smaller body, longer antennomeres 6–10, slightly broader pronotum and elytra.</p> <p>From all these species it can be distinguished by the darker elytra, and the shape of very narrow and elongate apical portion of the median lobe.</p> <p>Distribution. The species is at present known only from the type locality in Biluo Mts., Yunnan, China.</p> <p>Bionomics. Specimens were collected at elevation from 3890 to 3910 m a.s.l. together with specimens of A. grandidentatum sp.n. (see below). They were taken by sifting litter under shrubs and along fallen trunks in mixed forest with Abies and Rhododendron.</p> <p>Etymology. The specific epithet (Latin adjective: of different colours) refers to the different coloration of the body of specimens.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F14B1A5B40BA31FF24EA481D044F2C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
