Type material examined. PANAMA: PANAMÁ: HOLOTYPE: ♀, “ Fort Sherman , CS (Canal Zone, Panamá), 9º 20’ N, 79º58’W, 2.VII.74, col. D. Engleman ” ( USNM) ( Fig. 3). GoogleMaps

Diagnosis. Recognized by the hemelytral yellow pattern fully developed, composed of the longitudinal patches ( Figs 3, 24 View Figs 23–26 ).

Most similar to A. amapariensis in having more than five yellow patches on corium ( Figs 23, 24 View Figs 23–26 ) and pronotum with yellow, irregular, longitudinal stripes laterally and medially ( Figs 1–3). It can, however, be distinguished by the more broadly developed, longitudinal patches on hemelytron (round in A. amapariensis ) ( Figs 1–4, 23–25 View Figs 23–26 ) and the presence of the yellow patch on inner apical angle of exocorium situated near clavus (p7). With A. unicolor it shares similar, broad and longitudinal hemelytral patches ( Figs 3, 5, 24, 26 View Figs 23–26 ) but can be easily distinguished by the coloration of pronotum and fully developed pattern of hemelytron ( Figs 3, 5, 24, 26 View Figs 23–26 ).

Redescription. Female. Coloration ( Figs 3, 24 View Figs 23–26 ). Head yellow with large black areas; vertex yellow, weakly tinged with brown; frons mostly dark brown; clypeus mostly yellow, brownish apically; mandibular and maxillary plates yellowish brown; antennal segment I yellow with two brownish annulations, one situated basally, other apically; segment II mostly brown with whitish annulation subapically, blackish at apical one fifth; segments III and IV brown; labium yellow brown. Thorax. Pronotum dark brown with irregular, longitudinal patches laterally and medially. Mesoscutum and scutellum. Mesoscutum dark brown; scutellum with ground coloration dark brown with four large yellow patches: two situated basolaterally, one, longitudinal, situated medially, and one situated apically. Thoracic pleura dark brown yellow; metathoracic scent gland evaporative area whitish. Hemelytron yellow pattern fully developed with broad and elongate patches. Legs. Coxae castaneous with yellowish annulations: near base and apically; femora and tibiae dark brown with broad yellow annulations; tarsi brown. Abdomen mostly whitish with dark brown and brown areas.

Male. Unknown.
