Distribution and remarks.

Known from Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya (Gusenleitner and Schwarz 2002), this bee is similar to A. macroptera Warncke, 1974 and A. corax Warncke, 1967 but has a slimmer body shape than the former and has hairbands on the metasoma in contrast to the latter, as well as more subtle morphological differences in the structure of the integument.
