ornatoides?
Looking through the images, the closest match I found was one that's not identified to species, of the species pictures, the one that looks to my eye to be the closest is A. ornatoides.

Can you explain what is meant
Can you explain what is meant by dorsal habitus? You just want an overall dorsal view? I'll see if I have it. So I'm guessing I identified the genus correctly? (or you would have corrected me)
