Remarks. This new species differs from A. albistigmus by having the body with golden-green reflection; the wings subhyaline; the head longer than wide; the clypeus rounded, very short, with the apical margin truncate, and with the median clypeal carina hardly distinct from the clypeus; the antennal scrobe carinate; the ocelli large; the transverse pronotal carina absent; the metapostnotum with a longitudinal ridge; and the mesopleuron with the lower fovea closed and not divided, whereas A. albistigmus has the body black; the wings bi-banded; the head wider than long; the clypeus angulate, short, with the apical margin not truncate, and with the median clypeal carina distinct from the clypeus; the antennal scrobe ecarinate; the ocelli very small; the transverse pronotal carina present; the metapostnotum without a longitudinal ridge; and the mesopleuron with the lower fovea closed and divided.
