Remarks

One of several small yellow species similar to A. egregium . It bears no unique external characters, but it is one of the palest species. Sternite 5 ( Ebejer 2008: 688, fig. 13) is more or less square-shaped with a pair of triangular posterior extensions. Identification requires examination of the dissected male hypopygium where the entirely pale structures and the uncomplicated almost translucent aedeagus are diagnostic ( Ebejer 2008: 688, figs 12, 14).

Distribution
