Specimen set with wings folded; the left antenna, two tarsal segments of the right front leg, right middle leg and left middle leg, the tibia and tarsi of the left hind leg and the tarsi of the right hind leg are lost. This specimen was placed under A. notabilis Serville in the MHNG collection but the measurements coincide with those of the rather rudimentary original description. Box Q 4 .
