Head including eyes narrower than pronotum (Figs 1C, 2A, 3C, 4A, 5C, 6A). Vertex broad, apical margin rounded, median and submedian carinae absent (Figs 1C, 2A, 3C, 4A, 5C, 6A). Frons broad, wider at base than at apex, lateral margins convex outward distinctly, median carina weak or absent. Antennae cylindrical, exceeding level of frontoclypeal suture, first segment shorter than second segment (Figs 1E, 2B, 3E, 4B, 5E, 6B). Pronotum about as long as vertex medially, lateral carinae straight, attaining hind margin. Mesonotum subequal to vertex and pronotum combined (Figs 1C, 2A, 3C, 4A, 5C, 6A). Forewing long, apical margin rounded, with crossveins in apical third (Figs 2C, 4C, 6C). Spinal formula of hind tibia 5-6-4. Post-tibial spur large and thick, concave on inner surface, without teeth along hind margin, with an apical tooth (Figs 1F, 3F, 5F). Anal segment of male short, ring-like (Figs 2D, 4D, 6D). Pygofer in posterior view with opening slightly wider than long, lateral margins sinuate (Figs 2D, 4D, 6D). Aedeagus with phyllobase, phallus tubular, curved medially, phyllobase slender, arising from base of aedeagus dorsally (Figs 2F, 4F, 6F). Genital styles long, forked apically (Figs 2H, 2I, 4H, 4I, 6H, 6I).</p><p>Remarks</p><p>The new genus is similar to Procidelphax Bartlett, 2009 in having the body strongly dorsoventrally flattened, vertex rather quadrate, apical margin broadly rounded (Figs 1A–C, 3A–C, 5A–C). However, it can be distinguished from the latter by the following features: (1) median and submedian carinae of vertex (Figs 1C, 2A, 3C, 4A, 5C, 6A) absent (median carina of vertex (Bartlett 2009: fig. 3) present, forked near anterior margin of eyes, arms of fork diverging strongly to meet submedian carinae in Procidelphax); (2) frons (Figs 1E, 2B, 3E, 4B, 5E, 6B) with median carina weak or absent, not forked (frons (Bartlett 2009: figs 5B, 6B) with median carina conspicuous, divided at lower level of eyes in Procidelphax); (3) genital styles (Figs 2H, 2I, 4H, 4I, 6H, 6I) forked apically (genital styles (Bartlett 2009: figs 5f, 6f) not forked apically in Procidelphax).</p><p>Etymology</p><p>The name is derived from the transliteration of the Chinese ‘ aoding ’, meaning the middle part of vertex is concave. It is masculine in gender.</p><p>Host plant</p><p>Bambusoideae Luerss.</p><p>Distribution</p><p>China (Hainan, Yunnan), Vietnam (Thanh Hoa).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/016F86025209FFFFFDCFF9D4FD26A14D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Frons (Fig. 6B) longer in middle line than wide at widest part about 1.90: 1.79, widest at middle level of eyes, median carina distinctly convex, lateral parts flat concave. Antennae (Fig. 6B) with first segment shorter than second segment about 0.50: 1. Pronotum (Fig. 6A) longer than vertex about 1.08: 1. Mesonotum (Fig. 6A) longer than pronotum and vertex combined about 1.36: 1. Forewing (Fig. 6C) longer in middle line than wide at widest part about 2.63: 1.</p><p>MALE GENITALIA. Anal segment of male (Fig. 6D) short, ring-like. Pygofer in posterior view (Fig. 6D) with opening slightly wider than long, ventral margin concave U-shaped, with 2 small lobe-shape processes on both sides of medioventral margin, in lateral view (Fig. 6E) ventral margin longer than dorsal margin, posterior margin sinuate. Aedeagus (Fig. 6F) with phyllobase, phallus tubular, long, blunt rounded end, curved ventrally medially, with small process on ventral margin of aedeagus medially, phyllobase long, spinous, arising from base of aedeagus dorsally. Genital styles (Fig. 6H–I) stout, long, attaining ventral margin of anal segment, apex forked, with large verruciform process at apical ¼.</p><p>Host plant</p><p>Bambusoideae.</p><p>Distribution</p><p>China (Yunnan), Vietnam (Thanh Hoa).</p><p>Remarks</p><p>This species is similar to A. obscurus gen. et sp. nov. but differs by: (1) lateral margins of basal part of frons (Figs 5E, 6B) with short yellowish white transverse markings, median line yellow (basal part of frons (Figs 3E, 4B) without short yellowish white transverse marking in A. obscurus gen. et sp. nov.); (2) antennae (Figs 5E, 6B) with first segment brown dorsally and yellowish brown to pale brown ventrally, second segment pale brown, middle part dark brown (antennae (Figs 3E, 4B) uniformly yellowish brown in A. obscurus gen. et sp. nov.); (3) forewing (Figs 5A, 6C) brown to dark brown, basal ¼ with wide transparent transverse band, anterior margin with 2 transparent spots in distal ¼ (forewing (Fig. 3A) uniformly brown in A. obscurus gen. et sp. nov.); (4) ventral margin of aedeagus (Fig. 6F) with a small process medially (ventral margin of aedeagus (Fig. 4F) without small process medially in A. obscurus gen. et sp. nov.).</p><p>This species is also similar to A. hainanensis gen. et sp. nov. but differs by: (1) forewing (Figs 5A, 6C) brown to dark brown, basal ¼ with wide transparent transverse band, anterior margin with 2 transparent spots in distal ¼ (forewing (Fig. 1A) uniformly yellowish brown in A. hainanensis gen. et sp. nov.); (2) lateral margins of basal part of vertex (Fig. 6A) with dark brown markings (lateral margins of basal part of vertex (Fig. 2A) without dark brown markings in A. hainanensis gen. et sp. nov.); (3) pygofer (Fig. 6G) with ventral margin concave U-shaped medially (pygofer (Fig. 2G) with ventral margin concave W-shaped medially in A. hainanensis gen. et sp. nov.).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/016F86025202FFF3FDA1FE98FC72A6C4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
