Comments. The species name refers to the yungas ecoregion, and should be treated as a noun in apposition.

Other species of the orbitalis group:

Most species of the orbitalis group not included in the nitidicollis complex (except the A. tetrastichus / A. unduavi species pair) can be distinguished by external characters.
