Diagnosis: Females can be recognized by the following combination of characters: clypeus with distal margin strongly tuberculate; basitarsi with outer surfaces densely covered by dense tomentum; and hind tibia with carina. Males are easily recognized by the T2–T5 with strong lateral protuberances surmounted by tufts of long hairs and T7 with two strong lateral and one median spiniform projections (Gonzalez & Griswold, 2013).

Remarks: Wu (2006) misidentified the specimen “ China, Inner Mongolia: Alxa Meng, Ejin Qi (41º54′N, 101º00′E), 1 ♀, 8.VIII.1987, leg. Zhu-Zhu ZHANG” as this species, but it has been reexamined and is found to be A. (A.) florentinum (Fabricius, 1775), so this species currently only occurs within Xinjiang in China. Furthermore, Wu (2006) recorded three specimens collected from Xinjiang, Taxkorgan (1 ♀, 1 ♂) and Akto (1 ♂) as this species, but by comparation the S8 and genitalia of the male, we can confirm that they are A. (A.) xuezhongi Niu & Zhu, sp. nov., as its apical process of S8 is trifid (Fig. 34h), ventral margin at sub-middle part of gonostylus emarginated and with a small acute projection (Fig. 34j).
Although this is a widespread species very well known in Europe, its full synonymy and distribution have rarely been cited. Putative subspecies described from Algeria (barbarum), Libya (gribodoi), and especially Tajikistan (hissaricum, subcrenulatum) are relatively poorly known and their status needs to be restudied, preferably with molecular diagnostics in addition to detailed morphological study.
