Remarks. This new species differs from A. ecuadorianus by having the body with darkish green reflection and the metapectal-propodeal disc black; the clypeus with the median clypeal carina higher than frons level; the antennal scrobe carinate, but weak; the notaulus very narrow; the metapostnotum with longitudinal ridges; the paraspiracular carina present and inconspicuous; the mesopleural fovea opened; the paramere longer than the basipamere; and the basivolsella with an apical excavation at the inner margin, whereas A. ecuadorianus has the body black; the clypeus with the median clypeal carina lower than frons level; the antennal scrobe carinate; the notaulus narrow; the metapostnotum without longitudinal ridges; the paraspiracular carina present and conspicuous; the mesopleural fovea closed; the paramere as long as the basipamere; and the basivolsela uniform.
