Subgenital plate (Fig. 6 e) bearing group of long setae near base and row of stout microsetae from near base to near apex, with 3 macrosetae at middle part along outer margin.

Material examined. Holotype: ♂, CHINA, Yunnan Prov., Xinzhu, 2400–2500m, 16 xi 1999, coll. I. Dworakowska .

Remarks. The new species is similar to A. (Alnella) triseta Dworakowska, but can be distinguished by broader aedeagal shaft and its serrate apical margin, and presence of a small fingerlike process beneath the gonopore.

Etymology. The specific epithet is derived from the Latin word “ dentatus ”, referring to the serrate apex of the aedeagal shaft.
