A. grouvellei Jeannel, 1936: 66 ;

Szymczakowski, 1963: 671 (holotype seen, redescription) [but see Note 1]; Gnaspini, 1996: 539 (holotype seen); Salgado, 2010c: 213 (assignment to group); Gnaspini & Peck, 2019: 33, 34 (holotype seen; assignment to subgroup).

Holotype male [a single specimen of the type locality in original description, assumed as holotype] in MNHN [in Jeannel, 1936 and Szymczakowski, 1963; but Gnaspini, 1996 examined an additional female labeled “type” from BMNH [but as ‘MNHN’ [sic] in captions of figs. 152-163 in Gnaspini & Peck, 2019], possibly a paratype, not labeled as such, and which was considered a doubtful record in Gnaspini & Peck, 2019].

Type locality: “Bahia (collected in Paris on tobacco from Bahia)”, Brazil.

Distribution: Brazil: Bahia State: (probably) known only from “type locality”.

Note 1: Szymczakowski, 1963: 671 NMPC specimens ( Brazil: São Paulo) actually belong to two different species (Gnaspini, 1996: 540). They refer to A. mrazi and A. waclawi ( Gnaspini & Peck, 2019: 31, 32, 34).

Note 2: Szymczakowski, 1970: 329 specimen ( Brazil: Paraná) could not be related to a species, and was considered a doubtful record in Gnaspini & Peck, 2019: 34.

Note 3: The record in Salgado, 2005d: 969, 2015b: 33 ( Brazil: Santa Catarina) is considered doubtful/erroneous ( Gnaspini & Peck, 2019: 34).
