Diagnosis. This species differs from the very similar A. ventrituber mainly by the male sexual characters: by the absence of tubercles on basal abdominal ventrite and by the shape of aedeagus.
Description (Holotype): Body form, color and pubescence as in Fig. 7 View FIGURES 7 – 12 . Head distinctly convex; eyes feebly protruding from head outline. Pronotum with subparallel sides, slightly attenuate at apex; apical pronotal margin narrower than basal margin; anterior pronotal lobe prominent, distinctly projecting beyond anterior pronotal angles, posterior angles rectangular; pronotal disk markedly convex, distinctly impressed at base; lateral impressions missing; prehumerus not extending to half of pronotal length, costate basaly, filamentous apically, straight with apex feebly arcuate to pronotal margin and distinctly distant from marginal carina (lateral view).
Elytra without humeral carinae, short, moderately attenuate apically, apices narrowly separately angulately-arcuate; elytra bichromatic with bronze and violet patterns combined with monochromatic whitish pubescence.
Prosternum ( Fig. 39 View FIGURES 34 – 49 ): Prosternal lobe large with apical margin broadly subangulately emarginate medially; prosternal process sharply tricuspidate, sides expanded in straight line, disk feebly impressed. Basal abdominal ventrite without tubercles. Apex of last abdominal ventrite distinctly emarginate.
Aedeagus ( Fig. 62 View FIGURES 58 – 76 ).
Length. 3.9–4.6 mm, Holotype 4.1 mm.
Sexual dimorphism. Without apparent sexual differences.
Variability. Eyes sometimes less convex, not protruding from head outline. Sides of pronotum sometimes faintly arcuate and slightly emarginate before posterior pronotal angles.
Type series. Holotype 3, ( EJCB): “S Vietnam, 1–15.V.1994, Nam Cat Tien Nat. Park, P. Pacholátko & L. Dembický leg.” Paratypes (11 exs): 9 3, 1 Ƥ ( EJCB): with the same locality label; 1 3 ( EJCB): “ THAI, 18–24.IV.1991, Lansang n. p. 500 m, 16°48'N, 98°57'E, Vít Kubáň leg.”. Type locality. South Vietnam, Nam Cat Tien National Park, 107°19'E, 11°27'N [precised by collectors].
Distribution. Thailand, Vietnam.
Etymology. Derived from the words spiculum (a small, needlelike body, part, process, or the like) and penis (the male organ of copulation). The name refers to the spike-like shape of the aedeagus.
