 Diagnostic characters. A. suiamissu sp. n. differs from other species by the combination of the following characters: labrum with 2 setae, antepronotal lobe with 7 setae, pigmentation of front and middle femora and front tibia, expanded megaseta, aedeagal complex with only 1 grooved aedeagal blade, dorsal lobe present.   
 Etymology. Named after Suiamissu river.
