A small sized species. Holotype, male: forewing length, 11 mm. Paratypes, males (n= 19): forewing length, 10–11 mm; females (n= 16): forewing length, 15–17 mm. General color light brown. Head and pronotum light brown (specimens from Ubajara) to yellowish (specimens from Crato); central frons area brown in males (specimens from Ubajara), yellowish in females; clypeus and occiput ochraceous to yellowish (Figs. 2A, B, C). Antennae with scape brownish, lighter basally; pedicel and flagellum brownish. Palpi light brown. Pronotum light brown, two strips darker laterally and lighter median strip; anterior corners rounded, posterior corners rounded. Membrane and veins of wings brownish (Fig. 2D). Legs ochraceous with dark strip in distal part of the femur. Cerci light brown. <b>Male</b>. Sternum IX with dark posterior strip; row of thick bristles in lateral corners (Fig. 3A). Hammer simple truncate cone. Penial armature (Figs. 3B, C, D) with pair of large distal vesicles. In dorsal view, terminal tube opens into a long gonopore, conical at base (Fig. 3C). Gonopore robust in lateral view, distal region curved, median region sinuous with a small elevation (Fig. 3D). Hooks regularly curved and acute apically. <b>Female</b>. Subgenital plate ochraceous, 4-lobed; lateral lobes larger than median lobes, sinuous (Fig. 3E). Sternum VIII with thick bristles laterally; median lobes with small sclerotized band. Sternum IX with field of long bristles. Egg conical, simple (Fig. 3F). <b>Remarks</b>. All specimens from Serra da Ibiapaba, Ubajara have the head and pronotum light brown, whereas specimens from Crato are more yellowish. However, specimens from both localities have identical penial armature. The penial armature resembles to that of <i>A</i>. <i>terere</i>, however the median region of the terminal tube in <i>A. calori</i> is sinuous with a small point whereas in <i>A</i>. <i>terere</i> it is concave. In addition, the distal vesicles are present in <i>A. calori</i> and absent in <i>A</i>. <i>terere</i>. The female lateral lobes resemble <i>A. cathia</i> Froehlich, 2002, <i>A. rondoniae</i> Froehlich, 2002, and <i>A. subcostalis</i> Klapálek, 1921. However, in <i>A. calori</i> the median notch is not as wide and not as deep. <b>Etymology</b>. The specific name <i>calori</i> is in honor to Dr. Adolfo R. Calor for his contributions to the knowledge of aquatic insects of Brazil. The name is a noun in apposition.
