Mandible narrow and with two upper teeth wider than others. Median clypeal lobe rounded, short, with median apical tooth; median clypeal carina higher than frons level and extend to half of it length Frons coriaceous. Antennal scrobe carinate and reaching eye. Eye large, circumocular suture present. Frontal angle of ocellae forming right angle; ocelli large. Vertex convex. Pronotal disc as long as wide, with transverse pronotal carina and series of foveae posteriorly followed by large foveae; transverse pronotal carina complete; with posterior pronotal sulcus. Notaulus wide. Mesoscutellar sulcus narrow; posterior mesoscutellar sulcus present. Metapectal-propodeal disc long; metapostnotal median carina complete; longitudinal ridges absent; metapostnotal-propodeal suture convergent to first metapostnotal carina; paraspiracular carina present and conspicuous; metapleural carina present and conspicuous; metapectal-propodeal disc with short striae; propodeal declivity strigate. Mesopleuron with anterior fovea closed; mesopleural fovea opened; lower fovea divided; posterior fovea absent; mesopleural suture opened. Forewing with stigma not developed; Rs&M vein not distinguished. Mesotibia not spinose. Claws trifid. Metasomal segments glabrous. Genitalia. Basiparamere longer than paramere; paramere wide, rounded, with ventral and dorsal margin convex, sparsely setose; basivolsella straight; cuspis with arms very short, dorsal arm wide; aedeagus with basal portion angled and very wide, and apical portion as long as basal, wide, and swollen; apodeme slender.

Remarks. This new species differs from A. grandis (Ashmead, 1887) by having the head distinctly longer than wide; the antennal scrobe carina reaching the eye; the circumocular suture present; the pronotal disc with its transverse pronotal carina followed by a series of carinae, with a median longitudinal line, and with the posterior pronotal sulcus followed by series of large foveae; the notaulus wide; and the mesopleuron with the posterior fovea indistinct, whereas A. grandis has the head wider than long; the antennal scrobe carina not reaching the eye; the circumocular suture absent; the pronotal disc without a transverse pronotal carina followed by a series of carinae or median longitudinal line, and the posterior pronotal sulcus followed by a series of large foveae; the notaulus narrow; and the mesopleuron with the posterior fovea distinct.
