Notes:
There are major differences between the subspecies of
A. medeninensis
described by Warncke, though for now they are all united in the female under the distinctive arched but broadly flattened clypeus that is densely punctured with the exception of a clear longitudinal unpunctate midline in combination with an evenly triangular labrum. This potential species complex requires further investigation.
