Remarks. This new species differs from A. analis by having the body black; the mandible curved with five distal teeth that are equally wide; the clypeus with a median tooth; the clypeal carina angled; the frontal angle of the ocellar triangle forming a right angle; the ocelli large; the mesopleuron with the lower fovea opened; and the 1vv as long as the genitalia body, whereas A. analis has the body with green reflection and the propodeum black; the mandible angled with four distal teeth and the two upper teeth wider than the others; the clypeus without a median tooth, the clypeal carina arched; the frontal angle of the ocellar triangle acute; the ocelli small; the mesopleuron with the lower fovea closed; and the 1vv longer than the genitalia body.
