Prozona and pleura also shagreened and shining. Stricture dividing pro- and metazona rather distinct and smooth, neither striolate nor beaded.</p><p>Paraterga (Figs 6 A, B, 6 D, 7 A – C) strongly reduced, almost missing, slightly more easily traceable as lateral keels on pore-bearing rings than on poreless ones.

The  A. elongissimus group, showing a relatively to extremely long solenomere, currently consists of seven species:  A. elongissimus,  A. perplexus,  A. spiniger,  A. aspinosus,  A. nguyeni,  A. chinensis, and  A. anichkini . All of the remaining species seem to belong to the  A. anthracinus group, characterized by a short solenomere, which either fails to or barely exceeds the solenophore (Golovatch and Semenyuk 2021).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/67C21A3196F15D8AB4E1F8848C3609A6	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
