Paratypes: 1 ♂, Thailand, Chon Buri, Khao Khao open zoo, 15.viii.2009, Quicke & Butcher (voucher BCLDQ01287) (Genbank HM435207 View Materials ) ( CUMZ) ; 1 ♂, Karnchanaburi Province, Wachiralongkorn Dam , 26.xi.2010, Tol (voucher BCLDQ01484, Genbank JN278256 View Materials ) ( CUMZ) .

Antenna with 41 flagellomeres. Terminal flagellomere parallel-sided and acuminate.

Median flagellomeres approximately approximately 3.5–4.0 x (♂) longer than wide. Occipital carina broadly obliterated medially where arms curve strongly anteriorly, ventrally joining hypostomal carina. Mesopleuron largely aciculate, rugulose anteriorly and dorsally, precoxal sulcus weakly impressed, rugose, speculum present. Propodeum with complete midlongitudinal carina. Fore wing vein 2-CU1 1.4 x 1-CU1. Apex of fore wing subbasal cell with glabrous zone. Fore wing vein 3-SR 2.15 x vein r. Fore wing vein 2-SR+M 1.3 x vein r. Fore wing vein SR1 1.9 x vein 3-SR. Hind wing vein M+CU 1.6 x 1-M. Hind wing subbasal cell evenly setose. Hind wing vein mcu, moderately developed, antefurcal. Hind tibia with comb of adpressed setae apicomedially and ventrally. Claws with pecten of diverging slender setae on basal lobe. Basal lobes of 1 st tergite weak, anteriorly straight, slightly concave posteriorly. Midlongitudinal carina of 3 rd tergite strong, present on anterior 0.9.

Etymology. In reference to the duplicitous nature of the character Mr Lipwig in the Terry Pratchett Discworld novel Going Postal and hence it’s easy confusion with A. lipwigi sp. nov.
