Diagnosis. Head in frontal view suboval, mandibles long, sickle-shaped, widely overlapping; mouth aperture narrow, toruli separated by shallow cleft; eyes large, its longest diameter slightly longer than malar space; antennae in female 15-segmented, with apical flagellomeres transverse and loosely articulated (submoniliform); antennae in males 14-segmented, filiform, flagellomere 1 not emarginated at base; scape cylindrical, curved; epomia strongly developed; notauli deep, slightly diverging posteriorly, radial cell short, slightly longer than marginal vein, propodeum transverse with strongly converging plicae; petiole cylindrical, longitudinally ribbed; gaster subovoid, pygidium as long as prepygidium; segments of prepy- gidium ring-like, loosely articulated; basal striation of macrotergite even, with indistinct medial furrow.

Variability. The examined material shows no apparent variation.

Differential diagnosis. The species is similar to A. marginalis but differs from it in the following characters: (i) antennae in females shorter with three preapical flagellomeres transverse and submoniliform; (ii) genal carina absent; (iii) antennal sockets prominent with a shallow cleft; (iv) frons smooth; (v) propodeum with sharp projections posteriorly; (vi) radial cell wide; (vii) longer petiole with distinct longitudinal ribs; and (viii) gaster covered with long semidecumbent hairs.

Bionomy. Hosts unknown; flight period June to September.

Distribution. France ( KIEFFER 1916), Italy ( KIEFFER 1916). New for Slovakia and the Czech Republic.

Comment. The above synonymy is based on the comparison of types with other material available.
