Remarks. This new species differs from A. williamsi by having the head wider than long; the mandible with the lower tooth longer than others; the clypeus projected in an acute angle, and with the clypeal carina higher than the frons; the metapostnotum with the first metapostnotal carina and the metapostnotal-propodeal suture almost reaching the transverse posterior carina; and the mesopleuron with the anterior and posterior foveae distinctly separated, whereas A. williamsi has the head as wide as long; the mandible with its teeth equally wide; the clypeus rounded, short, and with the clypeal carina lower than the frons; the metapostnotum with the first metapostnotal carina and the metapostnotal-propodeal suture convergent posteriorly; and the mesopleuron with the anterior and posterior foveae not distinctly separated.
