Comments. A single difference between females of A. chrysocephala and A. fallax (males of latter species unknown) consists in relatively wide front (not widened more than 0.38 of head width in the first species and not narrower than 0.40 of head width in second). Our detailed measurement of about 30 females of those species shows that this character is very variable, from 0.35 to 0.42 without any hiatus.
