Remarks. This new species differs from A. interruptus by having the anteromesoscutum with the notaulus narrow; the posterior mesoscutellar sulcus present; the metapostnotum without longitudinal ridges; the metapostnotal-propodeal suture convergent to the first metapostnotal carina; the mesopleuron with the lower fovea and mesopleural suture closed; the basiparamere as long as the paramere; the paramere basal portion angled; and the basivolsela uniform, whereas A. interruptus has the anteromesoscutum with very notaulus narrow; the posterior mesoscutellar sulcus absent; the metapostnotum with longitudinal ridges; the metapostnotal-propodeal suture straight; the mesopleuron with the lower fovea and mesopleural suture opened; the basiparamere shorter than the paramere; the paramere basal portion abruptly slender; and the basivolsela with an apical excavation at inner margin and with a short basal projection.
