Planche 1 issued from : H. Ueda & J. Hiromi in Crustaceana, 1987, 53 (3). [p.227, Fig.2, g-h]. Female (from Chao Praya River mouth, Thailand): g, h, posterior metasome and urosome (dorsal and lateral, respectively). Nota: Armature on posterior corner of metasome similar to that of A. sinjiansis, but spines at ventralmost locus nearly as large as those at dorsalmost locus; each locus with 0-3 (usually 1 or 2) spines. Genital segment with 9-18 spines on posterodorsal margin; these spines not grouped at loci but evenly distributed; ventral surface with sevral rows of very minute hair-like spinules. 2nd urosomal segment with 6-10 posterodorsal spines; medial 2 spines larger than lateral ones and larger than spines on genital segment. Urosomal segment 3 with ventrolateral hairs. Caudal rami Length/width 1.9-2.2. A1 with 1 rowof spinules on each ventral surface of 9th to 12th segments.
Planche 2 issued from: H. Ueda & J. Hiromi in Crustaceana, 1987, 53 (3). [p.228, Fig.3, c, e, h]. Female: c, forehead (ventral); e, right A1 (8th-13th segments, ventral view); h, P5 (ventral view).
Planche 3 issued from : H. Ueda & J. Hiromi in Crustaceana, 1987, 53 (3). [p.229, Fig.4, f-g]. Male: f, g, urosome (dorsal and lateral, respectively). Nota: Urosomal segment 2 with 11-12 spines on posterodorsal and posterolateral margins; lateral spines not smaller than dorsal ones; ventral surface with spines at 2 loci on each side, each locus with 1-3 spines. 3rd and 4th urosomal segments with 4-8 and 4-6 posterodorsal spines, respectively (sometimes 4 loci can be distinguished on both segments); these spines usually larger than those on 2rd urosomal segment. Anal segment with ventrolateral hairs. Caudal rami Length/width 1.1-1.3.
