Remarks. This new species differs from A. tlaloc by having the forewing bi-banded; the head distinctly longer than wide; the mandible narrow and with its two lower teeth wider than the others; the antennal scrobe weakly carinate; the eye large; the frontal angle of the ocellar triangle acute; the vertex convex; the pronotal disc with a posterior pronotal sulcus; the paraspiracular carina present and inconspicuous; and the metapostnotal-propodeal suture straight, whereas A. tlaloc has the forewing subhyaline; the head wide; the mandible wide and step-shaped; the antennal scrobe ecarinate; the eye very small; the frontal angle of the ocellar triangle obtuse; the vertex straight; the pronotal disc without a posterior pronotal sulcus; the paraspiracular carina present and conspicuous; and the metapostnotal-propodeal suture convergent to first pair of metapostnotal carina.
