(Figs. 1C, 2C, 3D, I–J, 4C, 5D, 6B, D, F)
Description. Body (Fig. 1C) almost entirely shiny to subshiny yellow brown except for dark brown ocellar tubercle and abdominal pattern; setulae and setae mostly dark brown; wing length 5.5–6.0 mm; thorax length 2.2–2.3 mm. Head (Fig. 2C) with frons-head ratio 0.37–0.41, eye ratio 0.75–0.78, gena-eye ratio 0.16–0.17, arista-antenna ratio 1.4–1.6; medial vertical seta as long as or slightly shorter than longest diameter of eye; lateral vertical seta about 0.6x as long as medial vertical seta; postocellar seta about 0.4x as long as medial vertical seta; paravertical seta slightly shorter than postocellar seta; ocellar seta about 2.5x as long as ocellar tubercle; first flagellomere 2.0– 2.3x pedicel length; parafacial less than 0.2x as wide as first flagellomere; postgena moderately swollen with relatively long dark brown setulae; postocular setae extended about 0.8x distance from upper eye margin to lower eye margin. Thorax with dorsocentral seta about half distance from level of postsutural supra-alar seta to intra-alar seta; scutellum with basal scutellar seta 2.0–2.2x as long as scutellum and apical seta 1.8–2.0x as long as scutellum. Legs entirely yellow brown with dark brown setae and setulae. Wing (Figs. 1C, 3D) hyaline with yellow brown to dark brown pattern; cell dm with brown band approximately between apical 1/2–1/5; wing-thorax ratio 2.5–2.6, vein R4+5 ratio 1.5–1.6, vein M ratio 0.31–0.36, subcosta-costa ratio 0.61–0.68; R4+5 dorsally with 8–10 tiny setulae between node and R-M, no setula apical to R-M.
Male abdomen yellow brown in ground color with dark brown setae and setulae; T3 with tiny posterolateral spots; T4 dark brown with wide yellow brown semicircular area medially (rounded apex of circle touching posterior margin of T4); T5 entirely dark brown; epandrium (Fig. 4C) dark brown with tiny setulae and long dark brown setae; lateral surstylus at least twice as long as height of epandrium, yellow brown; posterior surstylar lobe small but not reduced and anterior surstylar lobe not expanded; proctiger pale yellow with brown to dark brown setae; dorsal sclerite of glans extensively with internal sculpture pattern of elongated cells; vesica of glans ventrally with 7 tiny spines.
Female abdomen yellow brown with narrow dark brown lateral longitudinal bands (Fig. 3 I); oviscape (Figs. 3 I, 6B) entirely shiny dark brown, about 1.5x longer than wide, distinctly longer than two preceeding preabdominal segments, with pair of ventral marginal setae and pair of dorsal marginal setae half as long as ventral setae; eversible membrane with taeniae about 0.3x as long as total length of membrane, ventrally on basal half with spinules moderately well differentiated (Fig. 6B); aculeus (Fig. 6 D) narrow, about 3x as long as wide, more or less parallelsided with apical 1/3 tapered with serration; 2 brown spermathecae ovatus with small apical knob in outline with transverse spinular papillae (Fig. 6 F).
Type material. Holotype male, MYANMAR: Kambaiti, 2000 m, 12.V.1934, R. Malaise (abdomen dissected and kept in a genitalia vial). Paratypes (same locality and collector as the holotype): 4.IV.1934, 1ɗ; 19.IV.1934, 1ɗ; 28.IV.1934, 3ɗ; 1.V.1934, 6ɗ; 5.V.1934, 1ɗ; 7.V.1934, 1ɗ; 8.V.1934, 1Ψ. The type series is deposited in NRS. All these specimens were originally determined and labeled as A. longipennis by M. Hering.
Distribution. Known only from the type locality in the north eastern Myanmar.
Etymology. The specific epithet is an adjective derived from the type locality.
