Specimens examined. THAILAND: 2 reared specimens; 1 ♂ and 1 ♀, 12/III/2017, Kasetsart University (13°50′59″ N 100°34′26″ E, altitude 4.48 m), Bangkok province, T. Saetung leg. 4 last stadium larvae; 1 ♂ and 1 ♀ 6/X/2018, Ban Na district (14°16′41′′ N, 101°00′57′′ E, altitude 8.6 m), Nakhon Nayok province, T. Saetung & B. Boonsoong leg.
Diagnosis. The larvae of A. pygmaea can be distinguished from known species based on the following combination of characteristics: 1) occiput with numerous dark spots; each spot bears a spiniform seta on dorsal view (Fig. 63); 2) pronotum with protrusion on the posterolateral side, forming a rounded shape (Fig. 65); 3) margin of compound eyes with a row of numerous spiniform setae on the ventral view (Fig. 67); and 4) S3–S4 covered with long simple setae (Fig. 69).
