Comments

This species was described for a male and the female remains unknown. Besides the holotype, a second specimen studied was considered to be A. minarum, for the size, overall body sculpture and pubescence of sterna 3–5. The species is similar to A. jurupari sp. nov., but can be distinguished by the punctate vertex and mesoscutum.
