Chorotype. Strictly Sardinian. Affinities: close to A. (D.) crenicollis , which is a Sicilian and North African species ( Liberti 1995a).

Notes. This species is characterized by the pectinate male antennae, convex body, black colour, dark pubescence and well impressed elytral punctuation. Rather common all over the island.
