Remarks. This new species differs from A. wilsoni by having the mandible with the teeth equally wide; the clypeus with the median lobe angulate; the antennal scrobe carinate; the frontal angle of the ocellar triangle forming a right angle; the mesopleural fovea opened; the basivolsella with an apical excavation at inner margin and with a short basal projection; the ventral arm of the cuspis with a basal projection; and the aedeagus with the basal portion convex and wide, and the apical portion longer than the basal portion, whereas A. wilsoni has the mandible with the two upper teeth wider than the others; the clypeus with the median lobe rounded; the antennal scrobe ecarinate; the frontal angle of the ocellar triangle acute; the mesopleural fovea closed; the basivolsela with an excavation at the apical margin; and the aedeagus with the basal portion convex and slender, and the apical portion shorter than the basal portion.
