A. perlonga is similar to A. bifiela and A. chandela by having the head wider than long, rectangular; the mandible with one tooth; the pronotum short; the notaulus complete and convergent posteriorly and the hypopygium with flap and posterior margin concave. However, bifiela has the head rectangular with vertex slightly convex, as in A. chandela , whereas A. perlonga has the head rectangular with the vertex straight. Remarks. The illustrations of the body, genitalia and hypopygium were provided using a non-type specimen. Distribution. Neotropical ( Brazil , Ecuador ).
