1’ Pronotum variegated yellow, brown, and testaceous, usually showing two pairs of irregular V-shaped dark brown bands on metopidium ( Figs. 15–21 View FIGURES 13 – 19 View FIGURES 20 – 22 ; 29–34)......................................................................... 5

2 Frontoclypeus entirely dark ( Figs. 26–28 View FIGURES 23 – 31 ); pronotum low, lateral margins broadly yellow ( Figs. 10–14 View FIGURES 5 – 12 View FIGURES 13 – 19 )................. 3

2’ Frontoclypeus concolorous with rest of vertex ( Figs. 25 View FIGURES 23 – 31 , 35 View FIGURES 32 – 35 ); pronotum moderately elevated and tectiform, mostly castaneous, testaceous or both ( Figs. 7–9 View FIGURES 5 – 12 , 22 View FIGURES 20 – 22 ).........................................................................4

3 Pronotum testaceous with yellow patches, dorsum feebly arched ( Figs. 10–12 View FIGURES 5 – 12 ); apex of frontoclypeus rounded ( Figs. 26–27 View FIGURES 23 – 31 ); branches of aedeagal apophysis bifurcate pre-apically ( Fig. 84 View FIGURES 79 – 86 )............................ A. alboferrugineus sp. nov.

3’ Pronotum mostly yellow with dark brown patches, dorsum relatively straight ( Figs. 13–14 View FIGURES 13 – 19 ); apex of frontoclypeus acute ( Fig. 28 View FIGURES 23 – 31 ); branches of aedeagal apophysis not bifurcate pre-apically ( Figs. 92–93 View FIGURES 87 – 94 )...................
