Remarks. This new species differs from A. alienus by having the mandible very narrow with the teeth equally long; the antennal scrobe ecarinate; the clypeal carina with the apical margin almost straight in lateral profile; the ocelli large; the vertex straight; the pronotal disc shorter than wide; the transverse pronotal carina absent; the mesopleuron with all the foveae open; the paramere short and wide; the cuspis with the ventral branch absent; and the aedeagus very slender with the basal portion almost as wide as the apical portion, whereas A. alienus has the mandible narrow, and with the lower tooth longer than the others; the antennal scrobe carinate and reaching the eye; the clypeal carina with the apical margin arched in lateral profile; the ocelli small; the vertex convex; the pronotal disc as long as wide; the transverse pronotal carina present; the mesopleuron with the lower foveae closed; the paramere slender and club-shaped; the cuspis with the ventral branch present; and the aedeagus slender with the basal portion wider than the apical portion.
