Holotype: ♂, CHINA: Longling county (N24.59°, E98.59°), Yunnan Province, 16. IV. 2002, Xiao-hong OU leg.. Paratypes: 2♂, CHINA: Longxinxueshan (N24.56°, E98.82°), Longling county, Yunnan Province, alt. 1820m, 20. IV. 2002, Xiao-hong OU leg.; 1♂, same date as above, alt. 1820m, 20.

The new species are morphologically similar to A. femoratus Polhemus &amp; Polhemus 1989, which can be separated from the latter by size of swellings and shape of the meso- and metatrochanters (Figs. 2 I, J). Swellings are narrow on the mesotrochanters and obscure on metatrochanters; Swellings are roughly circular and distinct dilatations on the metafemora. The left paramere is apically wider and the right paramere is distally narrower (Figs. 2 F–H). The subgenital plate of the female is broadly subtriangularly shaped, lateral margins at about basal third with narrow tufts of very long setae and subapically with thick relatively long setae; ridges set with long yellowish setae (Fig. 2 A) The swellings on new species legs also resembles A. tuberculipes Zettel &amp; Tran, 2009, which can be distinguished from the latter species by the male genitalia (Figs. 2 F–H). Other major characters between A. longlingensis and A. tuberculipes include the length of the head anterior to the eyes, which is moderately prolonged in A. tuberculipes, more so than in A. longlingensis . Spines absent from abdominal sternal midline in A. longlingensis .</p><p>Description. Body large size for genus, form elongate. General colour brown to dull blackish brown.</p><p>Male. Head.

Dorsal surface dark brown, coarsely rugose, bearing decumbent setae, posterolateral angles of abdominal segments III–VI strongly spinose, posterolateral angles of segment VII sharply, coming to acute points posteriorly. Ventral surface dark brown, weakly pruinose, sparsely covered with fine decumbent golden setae; abdominal segments V–VII extremely asymmetrical. Segments III–V with irregular glabrous pits adjacent to and inward of spiracular rosettes, sternum III with small posteromedial protuberance. Spines absent from abdominal sternal midline (Fig. 2 K).</p><p>Legs. Light brown, shining, covered with fine decumbent golden setae; anterior trochanter, femur, tibiae and tarsi with thick hair pads on inner faces; anterior, middle and hind coxae with combs of golden setae distally; middle trochanter, femur, tibiae and tarsi with thick pads of golden setae posteriorly; middle tibiae with scattered stout reddish spines along anterior face intermixed with several very long erect spine-like setae, transverse row of reddish spines apically; hind femur with short decumbent golden spines along anterior margin, scattered erect stout setae along posterior margin and each with raised, ovate, brown swelling (Fig. 2 J). These patches composed of densely packed, very short, modified setae; hind tibiae sparsely set with stout reddish spines anteriorly, transverse row of reddish spines apically; hind tibiae and tarsi with long swimming hairs posteriorly; claws curved, golden, with tips dark red.</p><p>Genitalia. Left paramere broadly expanded subapically, truncate apically (Figs. 2 C–E). Right paramere with bend at proximal two thirds, distal one-third slender; apex narrowly rounded (Figs. 2 F–H).</p><p>Female. Generally similar to male, but more shining. Subgenital plate (Fig. 2 A) of broadly subtriangular shape, side sinuate, convex at base; lateral margins at about basal third with narrow tufts of very long setae and subapically with thick relatively long setae; ridges set with long golden setae (Fig. 2 A).</p><p>Brachypterous form. Unknown.</p><p>Distribution. China (Yunnan).</p><p>Etymology.
