| Locality | Philippines, northeast Luzon, Aurora Province, purchased at Dinadiawan City Market, exact locality unknown, PNM 15199 (previously USNM 438093). |
| Distribution | Philippines (range uncertain). |
| Quote | The only possible candidate species described from the Philippines is Herre’s (1927) A. mindorensis, which is poorly documented and the type material is destroyed, thus presently considered invalid (Eschmeyer et al. 2017). Nevertheless, Herre’s illustration of A. mindorensis clearly shows a head shape distinctly different from A. albimento and most similar to species with a concave snout profile, such as A. japonicus and A. leucosternon (p. 40). |
