Diagnosis of male. The male of this species is easily distinguished from other males of the subgenus Ammosphex by having the hypopygium baso-laterally distinctly carinate (Fig. 19 vs. 1–18, 20–37). Genitalia as in Fig. 56.

Diagnosis of female. The female of this species is very similar to that of Arachnospila (Ammosphex) eoabnormis Lelej, 1995, but differs by having 2r-m cell of fore wing wider than 3r-m cell (2r-m cell equal to 3r-m cell in width in A. (A.) eoabnormis) (Figs 115, 116 vs. 100, 101). Clypeus as in Fig. 70. Metapostnotum as in Fig. 90.
