Another 11 species, A. laticincta Wei, 2010; A. renemalaisei Wei, 2010; A. qini Wei, 2010; A. nigroharpa Wei, 2010; A. shenae Wei, 2010; A. xini Wei, 2010; A. longiflagella Wei, 2010; A. fanae Wei, 2010; A. striatitergita Wei, 2010; A. rugosipleura Wei, 2010; and A. stenolutea Wei et Niu, 2010, have been reported as new [Wu et al., 2010] but their descriptions have not been published to date, and they should be treated as nomina nuda.
