For this species, description and drawings can be found in Liberti (1995: 192, Figs. 19-21).

Distribution and comments - Very close to A. (A.) cylindricus Kiesenwetter, 1863 , of which it might be considered a subspecies, it lives in peninsular Italy and in south-west of the Balkan Peninsula: records are known from Albania, Kerkyra Island ( Liberti, 1995) and Ahaïa.

A. (A.) angelinii , although similar to the reitteri group of species (see common description above), is easily recognized for pronotum less convex and approx. square shaped, as wide as elytral max. width so to give the body a cylindrical appearance, and for the space between punctures appearing brighter.
