Description
.
7.9 mm
long (
holotype
). Head and pronotum carmine, elytra bluishgreen, ventral side black. Pronotum strongly convex, sides almost subparallel; medial impressions deep, lateral impressions very narrow; pronotal disk with lateral, prebasal parts raised, similarly as those at
A. plasoni plasoni
Obenberger
; prehumerus long and strongly arcuate, but not reaching pronotal margins. Elytral disk densely, ornamentally, white pubescent; apices sharply projecting as those at
A. plasoni plasoni
Obenberger. Mentonniere
robust, deeply arcuately emarginate; prosternum feeble convex (LV); prosternal process flat, rather wide, subparallel between coxae, moderately narrowing to tip. Male unknown.
This species is at first glance most similar to
A. plasoni plasoni
Obenberger
, but differs from it by subparallel pronotal sides; strongly convex pronotal disk; longer and arcuate prehumerus and more intricate elytral pubescence.
Etymology
. Named for the ornamental pubescence of the elytra.
