Both species differ from the similar A. hardyi Hancock &amp; Drew in having the transverse hyaline discal wing band extensively interrupted with the hyaline spots out of alignment. Male with epandrium sclerotized, lateral surstylus (less sclerotized) broad, longer than epandrium, proctiger larger than epandrium densely covered with fine hairs (Figs. 23c, 24c). Phallus short (1.6 mm long) excluding glans of phallus; glans (0.3 mm) with well developed sclerotisation, preglans lobe prominent (Fig. 25c). Oviscape (1.54−1.64 mm) in female brown with apical and basal fuscous markings, 10−12 finger-like projections on distal end of eversible membrane (Fig. 27c) (1.65−1.83 mm long), 2 coiled spermathecae (Fig. 28c), elongate aculeus tip (1.49−1.64 mm long) with blunt apex (Fig. 26c).</p><p>Comments: This species was originally described from Yunnan, China by Zia (1964) and recorded from the NE India-Tibetan frontier by Hancock &amp; Drew (1999), who illustrated a specimen from Thailand, and from Bangladesh by Khan et al., 2017. A record of A. hardyi from Bhutan (Korneyev et al., 2023) is of A. distincta, while a record of A. distincta from Kemmangundi, Karnataka (Hancock &amp; McGuire, 2002) is likely to be of A. bimacula . Illustrated specimens (Figs. 18, 23c−28c) are from Tripura.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03EC87A6FFC2B64D54F2FF3FEA82FEA6	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
