Remarks. This new species differs from A. trinitatis Evans, 1966 by having the antennal scrobe carinate only laterally; the mandible with the lower tooth longer than the others; the notaulus narrow; and the paramere almost as long as the basiparamere and the paramere arms wide, whereas A. trinitatis has the antennal scrobe carinate only anteriorly; the mandible narrow, curved, and with its teeth equally wide; the notaulus very narrow; and the paramere shorter than the basiparamere and the paramere arms slender.
