Pronotum: Underside at fore margin without rostral notch or channel, only somewhat sinuate. Metacoxae separated from mesocoxae by their diameter and about a quarter more; length of metasternum well as long as diameter of mesocoxae or as long as three of the coarse punctures in line; in middle of metacoxae on first ventrite coarsely punctuate with especially large, roundish-oval punctures, but not confluent in the shape of a groove.

(C) A. spathiferum sp. nov. , Portugal, Serra da Estrela (photos C. Germann). Elytra L/W: 1.66-1.80, elongate, parallel sided, widest in middle ( Fig. 2C ). Striae coarsely and regularly punctuate, counting 14-16 punctures from elytral base to declivity. Male genitalia: Penis narrow, oblong oval, regularly rounded at apex in dorsal-ventral view ( Fig. 3 E-H), in lateral view bowed, apex blunt. Female genitalia (4B-E): ventrite VIII with plate drop-shaped, apodeme as long as plate, apex thickened and laterally weakly protruding. Spermatheca c-shaped with tip of cornu attenuated, base roundish, ramus and nodulus hardly noticeable (back part of spermatheca is missing). Gonocoxite of ovipositor and bursal atrium are lost. Derivation of name: Dedicated to its discoverer, dear friend and estimated excursionist Carlo Braunert ( Luxembourg ) to honour his tireless and enthusiastic passion for weevils.
