Taxonomy and systematics
The male of A. treecko is similar to A. xiushanensis in having a similarly shaped median apophysis, conductor, and retrolateral tibial apophysis, but can be distinguished by the retrolateral tibial apophysis, which narrows toward the terminus and has an obvious bifurcation, and by the well-developed, triangular cymbial apophysis. Females are similar to A. xiushanensis in the shape of the epigyne, but in A. treecko the epigyne is anteriorly narrow and flat and the copulatory ducts are narrow.[1]
