Discussion. Bellamy (1990) suggests that A. felix and A. natalensis are similar. I would agree with this and it is possible in my opinion that they might even be conspecific. Unfortunately no male of A. felix is known. Also the figure of the aedeagus of A. capensis (Fig. 16) is rather similar to that of A. natalensis (Fig. 11) suggesting they are closely related.
