Figs 66, 127, 185

MATERIAL. Holotype – ♀, Cambodia: central part of Elephant Mts, forest in environs of Styeng-Chkhral Vill. (~ 100 km NE of Sihanoukville Town ), 300–500 m, 27.VIII–6.IX

2003, A. Gorochov, L. Anisyutkin ( ZIN).

DESCRIPTION. Female. General appearance very similar to that of A. (S.) nigra nigra but with following differences: anterior surface of epicranium with dark area distinctly narrower and almost triangular, i.e. located between medial parts of antennal cavities and lateral parts of clypeal suture (Fig. 66); female genital plate with obliquely transverse posterolateral edges, with apical part having narrower (almost as in A. angusticauda ) posteromedian notch and slightly longer (but also acute) apical lobules ( Fig. 127 ).

Male unknown.

MEASUREMENTS. Length (in mm): body 26.5; pronotum 6.2; hind pronotal lobe 0.8;

visible parts of tegmina 0.2–0.3; hind femora 13; ovipositor 11.5.

COMPARISON. The new subspecies (Western Cambodia) is distinguished from A. (S.)

n. nigra (Southern Vietnam and Eastern Cambodia) in the above-mentioned characters of female. From all the other species of this subgenus, A. (S.) n. khmerica differs in the dark area of epicranial face longer than in A. (S.) busuanga and narrower than in A. (S.) angusticauda , as well as in the female genital plate having more transverse posterolateral edges and longer and acute apical lobules than in the latter species.

ETYMOLOGY. The new subspecies is named after the Khmers, the most numerous people of Cambodia.
