Remarks.
BUZZI (1996a)
described this species from a single specimen, provided a detailed description and figure of dorsal habitus, enabling identification of this taxon.
BOROWIEC (1998b)
synonymized it with
A. subvittata
based on similar colour pattern formed by red stripes on yellow elytra. However, the
holotype
of
A. subvittata
has the red stripes irregular due to punctures with large black areolae, particularly in the first and second stripe, while
A. urbanae
has these regular and bordered with small black punctures (see Figs 15 and
37 in
BOROWIEC 2005
). Therefore I restore the species status of
A. urbanae
. The specimen of
A. subvittata
from Corumbá published by
BOROWIEC (1996)
belongs to
A. urbanae
(L. Borowiec, pers. comm.).
