Diagnosis. Vertex yellow, except for frontoclypeus, entirely dark brown, apex blunt; pronotum low, ferruginous, with irregular yellow patch on lateral margins, and pre-apical yellow ring; forewings with transversal dark band at mid-length. Males with VIII esternite rectangular; subgenital plate pear-shaped, heavily constricted at mid-length; lateral plate excavated medially, with bifurcate tooth-like dorsal projection; branches of aedeagus apophysis bifurcate pre-apically, glabrous apically.
Description. Holotype female. Color: vertex mostly yellow, slightly ferruginous between superior margin and ocelli; frontoclypeus and ventral side of head entirely dark brown. Pronotum ferruginous, metopidium with narrow yellow stripe on basal median carina, fading shortly after; large irregular yellow patch on lateral margins, from postocular lobes to posterior process, abruptly enlarged at mid-length, extended until posterior third; apex of posterior process with pre-apical transverse yellow ring. Forewings hyaline, coriaceous areas dark brown, membrane with transverse dark band approximately at middle, extended from apex of first basal cell, occupying most part of clavus; veins light yellow to dark brown, lacking spots. Legs yellow, apex of meso- and metathoracic tibia slightly ferruginous. Ventral side of thorax and abdomen yellow.
Head: vertex pentagonal, as wide as long; ocelli closer to eyes than to each other; area below ocelli strongly depressed and concave, lower margins of suprantennal ledges and frontoclypeus feebly sinuate in frontal view, distinctly curved forwards in fronto-lateral view; frontoclypeus exceeding half of its length below lower margins of suprantennal ledges, tapering to rounded apex.
Pronotum: median carina prominent, slightly elevated, not keeled anteriorly at metopidium in frontal view; metopidium low, curvilinear above humeral angles in lateral view; humeral angles triangular, slender; dorsum low, regularly arched from metopidium to apex of posterior process, feebly constricted apically; posterior process laterally compressed past mid-dorsum, gradually tapering to triangular apex, narrow and acute, reaching apex of fifth apical cell (but not fourth); postocular lobes elongate and flat.
Wings: forewings with coriaceous areas occupying approximately one-third of clavus, one-fourth of R and first basal cell; discoidal cell pentagonal.
Paratype male: smaller than female, otherwise identical. Laterotergites IV–VII weakly lamellar, not as laterally projected as in other Allodrilus species; VIII sternite elongated, rectangular, upper margin feebly arched. Subgenital plate pear-shaped: narrower and truncate basally, heavily constricted before middle, where lobes separate; lobes moderately elongate, slightly narrowed towards rounded apex. Lateral plate swollen, medially excavated in lateral view, showing ventral tubercle-like projection, and nearly rectangular dorsal projection with two sharp teeth, basal tooth bifid (with unequally sized spines, upper tooth almost indistinct); in caudal view, projections not deflected inwards. Aedeagus U-shaped, shaft bearing ventral pair of spines, one pair at each side; aedeagal apophysis with one pair of dorsal spines approximately at mid-length (one spine at each side); arms of apophysis curved upwards, bifid apically, with lower branch approximately three-fourths as long as upper branch, apex sharp and glabrous. Styles elongate, swollen ventrally, shank abruptly narrowed apically, tip curved into small hook.

Notes on type specimens. Holotype glued to a pinned paper point, in excellent state of preservation. Paratypes in similar condition (a few males with wings, legs, or genitalia dissected, and placed in small vials with glycerine, pinned with specimen).
Remarks. A. alboferrugineus sp. nov. shows conspicuous features that greatly differ from most species in the genus: the strongly concave head with entirely dark frontoclypeus, the general coloration of the pronotum, and the transverse dark band on forewings. It superficially resembles A. colombiensis sp. nov. in overall coloration and pronotal shape, however, the male genitalia in A. alboferrugineus sp. nov. also exhibits several unique features, for instance, the bifid process on lateral plate, spines on aedeagus, and bifid branches of aedeagal apophysis. Specimens studied that vary in pronotal coloration show a pair of yellow longitudinal bands, one next to each side of median carina, extended from base of metopidium towards the apex, merging with lateral bands on the apical third, in dorsal view ( Figs. 10–12 View FIGURES 5 – 12 , 26–27 View FIGURES 23 – 31 , 48–49 View FIGURES 45 – 50 ); the median carina and a thin strip of adjacent area are ferrugineous. In these specimens the pronotum seems mostly yellow, with testaceous longitudinal bands, however the male genitalia are identical.
Etymology. The specific epithet ‘ alboferrugineus ’, derived from the Latin words ‘ albus ’ and ‘ ferrugineus ’, refers to the white and rust coloration of the pronotum.
