Morphologically very similar to A. jorgesoberoni because of posteriorly slightly widened first metasomal tergite, glabrous apical half of subbasal cell of forewing combined with a faint sclerome and dark brown posterior half of metasoma. Differs by having the diameter of the lateral ocellus ca. equal to its distance from the eye (vs. 1.2-1.3 × in A. jorgesoberoni ), vein cu-a of forewing straight and vertical (bent posteriorly and reclivous) and base of first tergite wider in lateral view (vs. slenderer).
