Discussion
Elle a la forme trapue de A. capensisHNS Mayr, dont elle differe surtout par la construction du metanotum: ce segment (fig. 12) se prolonge de chaque cote en une sorte de corne epaisse et pointue, courbee en arriere, dont le plan superieur (qui forme sur le profil une ligne droite) est continu avec la face basale; vu par dessus, le metanotum a la forme d'un croissant dont le creux et les cornes sont tournes en arriere. L'ecaille est haute et echancree en arc en dessus, terminee par deux dents ou epines tres aigues et un peu repliees en arriere. Sculpture a peu pres comme chez A. capensisHNS, mais le tegument est un peu plus lisse; abdomen tres luisant; pubescence excessivement tenue et rare, poils dresses gros, obtus, peu nombreux.
