Face (
Fig. 20A, B
) with contrasting yellow pattern; last three articles of maxillary palpi (
Fig. 20C
) brown; scapes brown with three yellow lines on basal half of inner side, the innermost with a series of small teeth. Pronotum and FWs as on
Fig. 20B, C
: most lateral yellow line of vertex wider than the median one and extending on DD lateral margins.
Male
FWs (
Fig. 20B, C
) reaching tergite 6.
Male genitalia
As on
Fig. 20
D-F (compare with Desutter-Grandcolas 1992b
Fig. 25
).
Female
Distance between FWs longer than FW width, but shorter than FW length.

Variation
The Mitaraka specimens are larger than the specimens originating from the type locality. They fit however the description of
A. pequegna
, with the following variation: FW venation (
Fig. 20B, C
) with two main veins in the harp, and six shorter ones (five in total in type material); stridulatory file with 282 teeth (
304 in
dissected
paratype
); lateral field with five longitudinal parallel veins (four in type material). In the male at hand, the genitalia are somewhat longer and more narrow than type genitalia; the posterior projection of pseudepiphallic distal margin is slightly more narrow and longer than in the Nourague material, and in lateral view, dorsal margin of pseudepiphallic lophi is less angulate (
Fig. 20
D-F).
