Diagnosis

(in well preserved specimens), is distinctive by having a larger area covered with ornamental elytral pubescence and also by less contrasting bichromatic elytra. It can be distinguished by the subtruncate prosternal lobe (
Fig. 40
), which in
A. madanensis
is markedly incised (
Fig. 42
).
