Chorotype. Central Mediterranean: Corsica , Sardinia, Sicily, Malta , Tunisia , Algeria and, marginally, the Balearic Islands ( Constantin 2005 ). Affinities unknown. Notes. A species very variable in leg colour (from entirely yellowish to entirely black) and size. In Sardinia it often has black legs while in Corsica the prevailing leg colour is reddish tibiae and dark femora (variable however). Rather similar to A . cribricollis , it is characterized by the pale brown pubescence, larger size and pectinate male antennae (the female antennae being serrate). Common all over Sardinia.
