南西諸島の奄美大島と石垣島から記録されており、台湾からも知られている。主に枯れ枝に生息するが少なく、詳細な生態は不明。本種とA. nonakaiの2種は尾管が褐色で腹部他節より明るいことで他の日本産３種と区別できる。A. nonakaiとは第8腹節背板のIS2刺毛（A. casuarinaの解説を参照）が長く発達することで区別できる。食菌性。

This species has been recorded from Amami Is. and Ishigaki Is. in the Ryukyu Islands, and is also known from Taiwan. It has been rarely found from dead branches, and the detailed life cycle is unknown. This species and A. nonakai can be distinguished from the other three congeners from Japan by the brown tube that is brighter than the remaining abdominal segments. It can be distinguished from A. nonakai by the long IS2 setae (see the comment on A. casuarina) on the abdominal tergite VIII. Fungus-feeder.
