Taxonomy notes

recently described as a subspecies of A. mongolicus, but has been recently split from A. mongolicus; the name may be unavailable due to much of the original description being in the supplemental material of the original publication (wich is downloadable as a word document), although the name, a reference to the physical description in another publication, and the ZooBank code were included in the main text (however, without the holotype and type locality information); the species is retained here pending further investigation
