D e s c r i p t i o n: ( KAZENAS 1978: 661, translated from Russian by H.-J. Jacobs): " ♀: Bodylength 16 mm. Clypeus and frons covered with appressed silvery setae which obscure most of underlying sculpture. Ventral (glabrous) part of clypeus with fine dense punctuation on smooth ground. Eyes convergent beneath ( Fig. 631 View Figs 620-641 ), minimal distance at top of clypeus 1.3× smaller than at level of midocellus. Vertex sparsely punctate, indistinctly microscopically reticulate and micropunctate. OOD: POD = 1.3. Flagellomere I nearly twice as long as II ( Fig. 632 View Figs 620-641 ). Last flagellomere approximately twice as long as apically broad. Pronotal lobe dorsally notched and anteriorly and laterally microsculptured and micropunctate. Scutum nearly all glabrous, laterally more or less covered with appressed setae, with sparse coarse punctures (punctures 3.5-4.0× smaller than midocellus) and indistinctly microscopically reticulate. Scutellum sculptured like scutum, longitudinally ridged posteriorly. Thorax with dense appressed silvery setae that obscure nearly all sculpture. Propodeal enclosure irregularly rugose and punctate, with irregularly distributed silvery setae. Claws without teeth. Petiole nearly as long as tergum I, 1.2× shorter than hindtibia and 1.55× as long as hindtarsomere I. Terga with extremely fine reticulate microsculpture, head and thorax black. Mandible largely, clypeus next to ventral margin and tegula red. Flagellum brown, scape anteriorly reddish, wing veins reddish-brown, red at wing base. Gaster largely red, petiole nearly all, tergum I (dorsally black), tergum VI apically brownish. Legs on most parts red, coxa and hindtrochanter nearly all black.

3: Bodylength 19 mm. Eyes strongly convergent beneath ( Fig. 635 View Figs 620-641 ), minimal distance at top of clypeus 1.8× shorter than at level of midocellus. OOD: POD = 1.25. Flagellomere I 1.6× longer than flagellomere II and 4× longer than broad on the apex. Last flagellomere truncate apically, 2.2× as long as broad ( Fig. 636 View Figs 620-641 ). Flagellomeres II-XI with tyloids on inner surface. Setae and sculpture as in female, only pronotum and scutum with more abundant setae. Petiole 1.1× as long as tergum I, nearly 1.3× shorter than hindtibia and 1.6× longer than hindtarsomere I. Colouring as in female, only mandible nearly all brown, clypeus black, tergum V dorsally with black spot, terga VI-VII all black. Distinctive for this species are the dense appressed silvery setae that are only present in A. tomentosa . A. iliensis differs from A. tomentosa in having a different coloration and the sculpture of the thorax."
