Diagnosis.

This species is similar to A. pulla and A. angulata due to its golden yellow vibrissa. However, it can be distinguished from both by its bilobate hypopygial prominence (Fig. 5 View Figures 4–11 ), while A. pulla and A. angulata have the hypopygial prominence knoblike (e. g. Fig. 4 View Figures 4–11 ).

Distribution.

Lesotho (new record), South Africa.
