Remarks. This new species differs from A. dietrichorum by having the flagellomeres with dense setae; the clypeus rounded; the antennal scrobe carinate and reaching the eye; the circumocular suture present; the frontal angle of the ocellar triangle forming a right angle; the ocelli small; the notaulus wide; the metapostnotum with a median posterior emargination; and the paramere very wide with the dorsal margin angled, whereas A. dietrichorum has the flagellomeres with sparse setae; the clypeus quadrate; the antennal scrobe carina not reaching eye; the circumocular suture absent; the frontal angle of the ocellar triangle acute; the ocelli large; the notaulus very narrow; the metapostnotum without a median posterior emargination; and the paramere slender with the dorsal margin straight.
