Diagnosis

This species can be easily distinguished from other known species in the genus by its largest size, more elongate and slender body and the male genital structure, especially the aedeagal shaft with a gibba-like process on anterior edge subapically in lateral view. Externally this species is similar to A. leiala Kirkaldy, but differs from the latter in its vertex, pronotum and mesonotum covered with fuscous punctures, pronotum with the median longitudinal carina black, and the scutellum with median line suffused with yellowish white, in addition to the differences in the body size and the male genital characters mentioned above (Liang & Wang 2012).
