Diagnosis. A. fasciculatus sp. nov. Superficially reSembleS A. pilifer, with both SpecieS having Similar body lengthS, the hind margin of abdominal Sternum VII in femaleS viSible in dorSal view, and a long genital Segment in maleS. However, maleS of thiS SpecieS can be eaSily Separated by the Shape of paramereS: in A. fasciculatus sp.

nov., the paramereS are Slightly curved along the diStal 1/5, with a rounded apex (Fig. 45), whereaS in A. pilifer, the paramereS are Simple, Straight, and bar-Shaped (Fig. 39). In addition, in A. fasciculatus sp. nov., the poSterior margin of abdominal Segment VIII iS much wider laterally (Fig. 25 compared with Fig. 22 of A. pilifer) and the cluSter of hairS on the poSterolateral margin of the pygophore iS Shorter and SparSer (FigS. 30, 35). In femaleS of A. fasciculatus sp. nov., the hind margin of abdominal Sternum VII haS a much deeper and more evenly rounded notch medially (Fig. 10 compared with Fig. 7 of A. pilifer).

Male genitalia: genital SegmentS larger and longer relative to A. perlatus (Fig. 15); abdominal Segment VIII Shorter ventrally than dorSally, length: 1.02, width: 0.43, about 2.37 timeS aS long aS wide, poSterior margin with Short, erect, browniSh hairS (FigS. 20, 25); pygophore Sub-ovate, poSterior margin evenly convex, lacking proceSS next to baSe of paramere, poSterolateral margin with diStinct cluSter of hairS on each Side (FigS. 30, 35); proctiger elongate, Slightly expanded medially (Fig. 44); paramere Slightly curved in diStal 1/5, apex rounded (Fig. 45).

Apterous female (Fig. 10). Similar to male in general Structure and coloration with following exceptionS: body Slightly longer and wider than male; body length 5.06–5.12, body width acroSS meSoacetabula 2.06–2.11; head length: 0.80–0.82; head width: 1.00–1.05; about 1.25 timeS aS wide aS long; antenna about 1.02 timeS aS long aS body; lengthS of antennal SegmentS I–IV: 1.18, 1.20, 1.41, 1.43; pronotum width: 1.20–1.24, length: 0.68–0.72, about 1.71 timeS aS wide aS long; meSonotum about 3.3 timeS aS long aS metanotum; fore femur relatively Slender; lengthS of leg SegmentS (femur, tibia, tarSuS): fore leg: 2.02, 1.73, 0.35 (0.11+0.24), middle leg: 4.00, 2.96, 1.10 (0.38+0.72), hind leg: 3.60, 2.00, 0.88 (0.48+0.40); connexival corner of abdominal Segment VII obtuSe and rounded, hind margin of abdominal Sternum VII viSible in dorSal view (Fig. 10).

Macropterous male and female: unknown.

Etymology. The Specific epithet “ faSciculatuS ” (from Latin, meaning “cluSter”) referS to the poSterolateral margin of the pygophore with itS diStinct cluSterS of hairS on each Side.

Distribution. China (Yunnan) (Fig. 55).

Habitats. SpecimenS of A. fasciculatus sp. nov. have been obServed and collected near Shaded rockS in clear, faSt-flowing StreamS (FigS. 52, 53, 54).
