Remarks. The species has been known only from Palaearctic Japan ( Sasa & Okazawa 1991, Niitsuma 2013). Here, we record the distribution in Oriental ( Fujian and Yunnan Provinces) and Palaearctic ( Hubei and Anhui Provinces) China, based on the male specimens possessing a dorsal lobe with an apical brush, a curved blade with a pointed apex, and a lateral lobe with apicomedial serration in the aedeagal complex ( Fig. 2B View FIGURE 2 ), and the pupal specimens possessing darkened pattern on the abdominal tergites II–VIII (Niitsuma 2 0 13, figs 42a, b). The adult somewhat resembles that of A. ( A.) amamisimplex in the general appearance but can be easily separated by the number of spots along the anterior costal margin, which is three in A. ( A.) jogancornua , and two in A. ( A.) amamisimplex ( Niitsuma 2013) .
