Remarks. This new species differs from A. venustus by having the mandible with the teeth equally wide; the clypeus with the clypeal carina higher than frons level; the vertex convex; the transverse pronotal carina absent; the posterior mesoscutellar sulcus present; the metapectal-propodeal disc long; the metapostnotum without longitudinal ridges; the paraspiracular carina absent; the paramere truncate; the basivolsella with an excavation at the inner margin; and the aedeagus with the basal portion convex and wide, whereas A. venustus has the mandible with the two upper teeth wider than the others; the clypeus with the clypeal carina lower than frons level; the vertex straight; the transverse pronotal carina present; the posterior mesoscutellar sulcus absent; the metapectal-propodeal disc short; the metapostnotum with longitudinal ridges; the paraspiracular carina present; the paramere rounded; the basivolsela with a projection at the basal portion of the inner margin; and the aedeagus with the basal portion angled and slender.
