-Holotype male: ANGOLA: 7 mi. W. Gabela [11.00'S, 14.30'E], 16-18.iii.1972, South African Exp. BM 1972; 2 female paratypes, same data as the Type (NHMUK).
Description.
-Similar in size, but more slender than
A. n. neavei
and closer in general appearance to the larger specimens of
A. n. burtti
from Singida and Mpwapwa. Sculpturing of integument as in
neavei
. Antennae proportionately longer and less dentate than in
neavei
, equal in male and subequal in female to the combined length of head and pronotum. Dorsum of pronotum relatively narrow (Fig. 89), carinae low and thick, but distinct, lateral ones somewhat inflexed in middle; three transverse sulci distinct, metazona more than half length of prozona, its hind margin broadly rounded, medial indentation very weak in male, indistinct in female. Tegmina as in Fig. 89A. Mesosternal interspace narrower than lobe in male, quadrate in female. Hind femur slightly slenderer than in
neavei
-length/width ratio 3.7 vs. 3.2. External and internal genital structures as in Fig. 90; shapes of epiphallus and spermatheca are particularly distinctive. Coloration cryptic in shades of grey and brownish, very similar to that of
A. n. burtti
. No distinctive markings. Measurements in Table 7.
