Head black, with mandibles testaceous; antennae testaceous, slightly darkened; mesosoma black; gaster brown; legs testaceous, with hind coxae and hind clubs of femora partly brown. Antennae filiform; antennal segments in following proportions: 8.5:4:5:5:5:5:5:5:4.5:8. Head dull, punctate, without sculpture among punctures, with vertex and temples rugose; frontal line complete; frons without lateral keels directed towards antennal toruli; occipital carina complete; POL = 4.5; OL = 3; OOL = 4.5; OPL = 2; TL = 2.5. Scutum and scutellum shiny, smooth, finely punctate, without sculpture among punctures; notauli incomplete, reaching approximately 0.50 length of scutum. Metanotum shiny, smooth, without sculpture. Propodeum with strong transverse keel between dorsal and posterior surface; dorsal surface reticulate rugose, dull; posterior surface with 2 irregular longitudinal keels, with median area of posterior surface completely shiny, smooth and not rugose and lateral areas rugose. Forewing hyaline, without dark transverse bands; distal part of stigmal vein much shorter than proximal part (2.5:7). Parameres ( Fig. 10 ) without distal inner process, with slender dorsal membranous process. Tibial spurs 1, 1, 2.

Hosts: Unknown.

Comparison: The male of A. terminale is similar to those of A. griswoldi Olmi, 2004 , and A. nigerrimum Olmi, 2004 , but the parameres do not possess a distal inner process ( Fig. 10 ). In A. griswoldi and A. nigerrimum , the parameres have a distinct distal inner process (Olmi 2004 b, figs 5, 6).
