Black, tergum I largely, terga II-III and sterna II-III yellowish red; gastral apex black without metallic blue luster; head and thorax with long, white, erect setae; pronotal lobe, mesopleuron, metapleuron posteriorly and propodeum posterolaterally with dense appressed setae; clypeus, and lower frons with sparsely, appressed setae; lateral and ventral sides of thorax and coxae covered with dense pubescence. Vertex, frons and clypeus sparsely punctate, without supra-antennal projection. Free margin of clypeus with two lateral teeth. Postocellar diameter (ODD): postocellar distance (POD): oculocellar distance (OOD): interocular distance at anterior ocellus (IODP): interocular distance at clypeus (IODC) = 1: 26: 3.7: 11: 10.4. Relative length of pedicel: flagellomeres I: II: III. VIII = 1.8: 5.8: 3: 3: 3.2. Pronotal collar: length: width = 5: 9.5, coarsely, transversely striate, with insignificant median furrow. Scutum coarsely, transversely rugose-striate and punctate, without admedian line; scutellum coarsely, longitudinally striate; metanotum without distinct striae; propodeal enclosure with inconspicuous median carina, surface coarsely, obliquely striate laterally. Mesopleuron and mesosternum sparsely punctate, with episternal sulcus, front part of mesosternum with a large, deep semicircular concavity; metapleuron slightly rugosestriate; lateral side of propodeum coarsely rugose-striate. Submarginal cell III not petiolate. Foretarsus asymmetrical; hindleg relative length of tibia: tarsi I: II = 25: 13: 7.5, claws simple, arolia present. Length of gastral petiole: tergum I = 19: 19. 3 unknown. R e l a t i o n s h i p s: This new species is related to A. occipitalis MORAWITZ (1890), but differs in legs and clypeus, absence of tumor behind hindocellus and a shorter pronotum and petiole."
