Taxonomic notes.
This is a testaceous species comparable to A. rufescens but with more distinct and stronger setation (Fig. 15A-C View Figure 15 ). It was described based on male specimens and is only known from the type locality. Female morphology unknown. This species does not have any immediately distinctive diagnosable character sets based on existing descriptions but can be identified based on the provided key. Chaetotaxy as observed: 2 vibrissae; at least 3 proclinate interfrontal setae; 2 postpronotal setae; 2 scapular setae; 1+1 notopleural setae; strong biseriate divergent acrostichal row; 1+3 dorsocentral setae; 1+1 supra-alar setae; postalar and intrapostalar setae present; scutellum with 1 discal setula; katepisternal seta missing/indistinct.
