Described from
California
and recorded only from that state in
HENRY & FROESCHNER (1988)
. The senior author compared the specimens with photographs of the male
holotype
which is in the
California
Academy of Sciences in San Francisco.
KORMILEV (1980)
stated that
A. brevicornis
runs to
A. borealis
HEIDEMANN,
1909 in
Parshley’s key, but differs in that the antennae are shorter, with the second antennae segment half as long as the distance between the eyes, and the labium is much shorter, reaching half of prosternum. Females are brachypterous. The species also has a different coloration. The unreported male genitalic structures are figured for the first time.
