Too brown for A. ariprepes. Maybe A. asterias or A. callispila ?

I don't think the anteanna are right for A. ariprepes. I think A, callispila is more likely.

The leg tufts are right for A, asterias.

On the ALA both A. asterieas and A. callispela show tufts on the upper forelegs, but arguably A. asterias has more southerly records.
