Pronotal disc as long as wide, polished; transverse pronotal carina present, incomplete; with posterior pronotal sulcus. Notaulus very narrow. Mesoscutellar sulcus narrow. Metapectal-propodeal disc short; metapostnotal median carina complete; longitudinal ridges present; metapostnotal-propodeal suture straight; paraspiracular carina present and conspicuous; metapleural carina present and conspicuous; metapectal-propodeal disc polished; propodeal declivity strigate. Mesopleuron with anterior fovea closed; mesopleural fovea closed; lower fovea opened; posterior fovea absent; mesopleural suture opened. Forewing with stigma developed; Rs&M vein distinguished. Mesotibia not spinose. Claws trifid. Metasomal segments glabrous. Genitalia. Basiparamere as long as paramere; paramere wide and triangle-shaped, glabrous; basivolsella with apical excavation at inner margin; cuspis with arms long, dorsal arm slender; aedeagus with basal portion convex and slender, and apical portion shorter than basal and slender; apodeme slender.

Material examined. Holotype, ♂, BOLIVIA, La Paz, Noryungas, Coroico El Bagante , 1500m, 16°11'S 67°44'W, 18.iv.1997, cloud forest, L. Masner s.s. col[lector] ( CNCI).

Remarks. This new species differs from A. strictus by having the mandible with the teeth distinctly wide; the clypeal carina higher than frons level; the antennal scrobe carina incomplete medially; the pronotal disc with its transverse pronotal carina incomplete; the notaulus narrow; the mesopleuron with the lower fovea hardly distinct; the paramere triangular shaped; the basivolsella with an apical excavation at the inner margin; the cuspis with the arms long; and the aedeagus with the basal portion slender, and the apical portion slender and shorter than the basal portion, whereas A. strictus has the mandible with the teeth narrow; the clypeal carina lower than frons level; the antennal scrobe carina complete; the transverse pronotal carina present and complete; the notaulus very narrow; the mesopleuron with the lower fovea distinct; the paramere slender, rounded, and sinuous; the basivolsela with the inner margin angled; the cuspis with the arms short; and the aedeagus with the basal portion very slender and the apical portion very slender and longer than the basal portion.
