Comments: The female of A. shimbanum is similar to that of A. rufonigrum 2OPL, ƚ984. The main differences concern the sculpture of the metanotum (sculptured by broad punctures and without sculpture among punctures in A. shimbanum ; reticulate rugose in A. rufonigrum ) and the colour of the head and mesosoma (black in A. shimbanum ; mostly reddish in A. rufonigrum ). The new species was compared with the holotype of A. rufonigrum IURP 6RXWK $IULFD, 3RUW 6W -RKQV (%01+).
