Holotype, ♀, Thailand, Chiang Mai Province, Doi Inthanon NP, checkpoint 2, 24.viii.2006, 18° 31.554’ N, 98° 29.940’ E, 1700m, Y. Areeluck (voucher BCLDQ00240, Genbank JF963441 View Materials ) ( QSBG). GoogleMaps

Length of body 4.5 mm, of fore wing 4.2 mm and of antenna 5.4 mm.

Antenna with 39 flagellomeres. Terminal flagellomere acuminate. Median flagellomeres 2 x longer than wide. Occipital carina broadly interrupted mediodorsally, joining hypostomal carina ventrally. Mesopleuron largely aciculate, precoxal sulcus weak with some weak rugulose sculpture, speculum absent. Midlongitudinal propodeal carina complete. Fore wing vein 2-CU1 1.4 x 1-CU1. Apex of fore wing subbasal cell evenly setose. Fore wing vein 3-SR 2.1 x vein r. Fore wing vein 2-SR+M 1 x vein r. Fore wing vein SR1 2.5 x vein 3-SR. Hind wing vein M+CU 1.4 x 1-M. Hind wing subbasal cell evenly setose. Hind wing vein m-cu absent. Apex of hind tibia without comb of modified adpressed setae. Claws without conspicuous pecten. Basal lobes of 1st tergite moderately developed, distinctly concave posteriorly. Midlongitudinal carina of 3 rd tergite strong on basal 0.6. Posterolateral margin of 4 th metasomal tergite hardly emarginate.

Etymology. Created from ‘occiput’ and ‘maculatus’ in reference to the dark mark near the occipital carina. Note. Extremely similar to A. maculiput sp. nov., but given relatively small amount of DNA variation observed within species the difference at a total of 8 bases is likely to indicate a species-level difference.
