Bahia , Minas Gerais and Goiás , Brazil ( Fig. 1 ). Remarks. We observed morphological variation among the specimens of A. prima . The integument may have two white maculations on the first tergum ( Figs. 4–5 ), or the white maculations may be enlarged such that they coalesce, almost create a single lateral white area. Also, the second and third terga may or may not have white maculations laterally. One specimen has white maculations on the first and second terga ( Fig. 3 ), while the other specimen has maculations on the first, second, and third terga ( Fig. 2 ). The clypeus also may have small lateral white maculations or just single large white maculations that covers one third of the clypeus and extends between the eyes.
