Diagnosis. This species, together with A. mallotiellus, A. madanensis, A. haucki and A. semicaducus (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).

Length. 4.5–5.25 mm.
