Diagnosis of male. The male of this species is easily distinguished from other males of the subgenus Ammosphex by having the hypopygium baso-laterally distinctly carinate ( Fig. 19 vs. 1 –18, 20– 37). Genitalia as in Fig. 56.

Diagnosis of female. The female of this species is very similar to that of Arachnospila (Ammosphex) eoabnormis Lelej, 1995 , but differs by having 2 r-m cell of fore wing wider than 3 r-m cell (2 r-m cell equal to 3 r-m cell in width in A. (A.) eoabnormis ) (Figs 115, 116 vs. 100, 101). Clypeus as in Fig. 70. Metapostnotum as in Fig. 90.
