Description. Male (holotype). Body moderately small for this genus. Colouration light brown (almost yellowish) with four brown longitudinal bands on head dorsum (medial bands reaching rostral apices; lateral bands fused with more or less darkened lateral areas behind eyes, but these areas separated from eyes by yellowish stripe along posterior edge of each eye), four somewhat lighter (brownish grey) vertical stripes under eyes and antennal cavities (latter stripes reaching lateral parts of clypeus), reddish brown proximal part of antennal flagellum and small dorsal spot on scape, darkish (barely visible) areas on lateral parts of six anterior tergites, and brown to brownish grey spots on fore and middle femora, tibiae and tarsi (hind legs missing). Rostral tubercles moderately short, directed mainly forwards and with almost angular apices; lateral ocellus large, its length slightly greater than distance between it and rostral apex; pronotum with dorsal edge slightly concave in anterior half and slightly convex in posterior half; armament formula of fore and middle tibiae characteristic [d2a, v2, v2, v3a / d2a, (v2), v2, v3a]; abdominal tergites simple, but seventh one with moderately long and not narrow posteromedian process having subapical narrowing, a pair of apical lobules (these lobules almost spine-like but with rounded apices) and one ventrosubapical semiglobular inflation ( Figs 95–97); paraproct short, with short and strong hook directed upwards, and with ventrolateral (posterolateral) keel-like ridge running from this hook to almost base of cercus ( Fig 96, 97); genitalia with dorsomedian lobe moderately large (long) and having large dorsal inflation and a pair of small apical lobules, with ventromedian lobe wide and short but somewhat concave posteriorly and having posteromedian fork-like lobule, with a pair of short dorsolateral lobes, and with a pair of very large ventrolateral lobes which clearly longer than all other lobes ( Figs 120, 121).

Female unknown.

Length in mm. Body 14.5; pronotum 4; fore femur 13.2.

Comparison. The new species is distinguished from similar A. (A.) multa and A. (A.) proxima by the posteromedian process of seventh abdominal tergite of male somewhat narrower before its apical part and with the apical lobules thinner, this process also with a semiglobular subapical inflation on the ventral surface, and male paraproct distinctly lower and with the apical hook acute. From A. (H.?) bicolor and A. (U.?) citrea with unknown males, the new species differs in the body significantly smaller or in the colouration distinctly less variegate, respectively.

Etymology. This species name is the Latin word “originalis ” (original), because this species has a peculiar structure of the male abdominal apex.
