Holotype male [a single specimen in original description, assumed as holotype ] in BMNH [not there, according to Gnaspini & Peck, 2019 ; but confirmed to be there by Maxwell Barclay, 2020, personal comm.]. Type locality: “ Colombia ”. Distribution: Colombia : known only from “type locality”. Note 1: Szymczakowski (1975: 14) , when discussing identity of A. brunnea Jeannel [1936] and describing and assigning subspecies to that species, commented that it is probable that A. ovalis would also be synonym of A. brunnea ; and he proposed to use the latter as the valid name [but the former has page precedence] if this synonymy is proved right. This has never been used in the literature. Gnaspini & Peck (2019: 14) considered both as valid species, and did not propose a revalidation because they understood that Szymczakowski´s statement is not a valid taxonomic act, a position followed here. Note 2: Subspecies received specific status after study of types (Gnaspini, 1996: 539; Gnaspini & Peck, 2001: 430 , 2019: 14, 15, 17, 18, 20, 21).
