No, not A. viejita. It's probably is a hongsloi-complex species. I can't be sure from these 2 photos. What does the female look like?

OK. Based on the shape of the lateral band (lattice/ladder-like) and low weakly serrated dorsal spines on the male I would say it is a species in the hongsloi-complex. There are only 2 scientifically described species in the complex: A. hongsloi and A. helkeri, but at least 4 other undescribed forms that are probably separate species. I'd give them some time to mature and possibly color-up before trying to give a species name. A. collecting locality would definitely help but doubt that is available.
