S t a t u s:
WARNCKE (1968)
described
A. lineolata
as endemic to Tenerife on the basis of
30 specimens
(
1♀
holotype
;
14♀♀
,
15♂♂
paratypes
). Besides the
holotype
,
8♀♀
and
6♂♂
of
paratypes
are deposited in the OLML (see also BLANK & KRAUS 1994). The type specimens in the OLML are all provided with a determination label from Warncke and were analysed in the frame of this study. (
holotype
: female, El Portillo,
18.06.1933
, collector unknown). One
paratype
of
A. lineolata
(
1♂
Tenerife, Las Cañadas,
May 1960
, leg. Lundblad) is deposited in the MNCN (
1♂
of the same serie, also a
paratype
, is deposited in the OLML). Three females and
one male
(all
paratypes
, with the label Tenerife, Teyde, Cañadas,
20.05.1947
, collected by Lindberg) are deposited in the ZMUH and characterised by the labels ‘Mus. Zool H: Fors, Spec. typ. No 5525, 5526, 5532, 5533’. Remarkably, only
one female
is mentioned in the description of
WARNCKE (1968)
. The whereabouts of
10 type
specimens (
2♀♀
,
8♂♂
) could not be clarified.
F o r m e r d e s c r i p t i o n s:
WARNCKE (1993)
compared the morphological features of
A. lineolata
to those of
A. wollastoni
(translated from German) as follows:
F e m a l e: hairy gray-white pubescence, only slightly denser and longer hairs than in
A. wollastoni
; tergites 2-4 with open white and narrow hair bands; clypeus clearly bulging, somewhat snout-shaped, slightly coarser and more densely punctured, puncture distance 1-1.5 of the puncture diameter; labrum triangular; thorax in
A. wollastoni
fine scattered and hardly recognizable punctured; strongly grainy shagreened; in
A. lineolata
similar, but denser (1-2 puncture of the diameter distance) and deeper punctured, therefore punctures clearly visible; fine-grained and shagreened but weaker in microsculpture, therefore weakly shiny; scutellum more strongly punctured and not shagreened in the centre, therefore shiny; propodeum rugose at the base, distal part almost grainy without rugulae; sculpture of the abdomen similar to
A. wollastoni
, mesosoma seems broader than in
A. wollastoni
.
M a l e: with lighter hairs, even the head only next to the antenna base with some interspersed black hairs, otherwise lightly haired; thorax puncture also denser and deeper, scutellum shiny, genitals very similar to
A. wollastoni
.
D i a g n o s t i c q u a l i t a t i v e f e a t u r e s: Inadditiontothemorphological characteristics that are typical for the taxa of the
A. wollastoni
group,
A. lineolata
is characterised by the following specific features:
F e m a l e: Colour. Head: flagellum dorsal dark brown, ventral light brown (78%) or dorsal black, ventral brown (22%) (
Figs. 18a, c, d
). Mesosoma: femur, tibia, and basitarsus brown (
Fig. 18a
); mediotarsi yellowish-reddish; wings light brownish toned (
Fig. 18a
), veins yellowish-reddish brown; pterostigma yellowish, brown marginated (
Fig. 18a
). Metasoma: T1-4 black with reddish-brown depression zone (
Fig. 18a
); T5 depression zone reddish-brown.
Pubescence.Head: clypeus and supraclypeal area with white but not dense hairs; paraocular area with white hairs, no brownish hairs between the subantennal socket and the facial fovea (
Fig. 18d
); scapus and antennal socket with dorsal longer white-yellowish hairs and ventral shorter white-yellowish hairs (
Fig. 18c
); genal area with white hairs; facial fovea with white hairs; vertex behind the the ocelli with some long white-yellowish hairs (
Fig. 18c
). Mesosoma: mesoscutum and scutellum with white-yellowish hairs, laterally in the front with longer hairs; mesepisternum with white hairs; propodeal corbicula with some white hairs and with some hairs in the centre; trochanteral and femoral flocculus with white hairs; tibial scopa dorsally and ventrally with white hairs, dorsobasally slightly reddish, distally with white hairs (
Fig. 19d
). Metasoma: tergites scarcely hairy, T2 and T3 (T4) with lateral white, fragmentary open hair bands (dense rows of hairs) (
Fig. 18a
); T4 with row of hairs between tergite and tergite depression; T5 laterally with yellowish-white hairs, in the centre with yellowish (yellowish-reddish) hairs (
Fig. 18a
); T6: brown hairs.

Structure. Head: clypeus strong convex with impunctate line (
Fig. 19a
), more or less shagreened (
Fig. 19a
), slightly dull, deeper punctured (PD: 14-28 μm, PDI: 28 μm) (
Fig. 19a
), labrum process triangular (50%) (
Fig. 19a
) or triangular-trapezoidal (50%), slightly rounded on the top, laterally more or less oblique. Mesosoma: deeper and denser punctured, especially in the front (PD: 14 μm) (
Fig. 19b
); propodeum rugose (
Fig. 19c
). Metasoma: tergites rough hammertone-like shagreened and shiny; shallow and very scattered but not clearly punctured (PD: 14 μm), T1 very slight stepped depression zone, T2-T4 with deeper depression zones (
Fig. 18a
).
M a l e: similar to female with following differences:
Colour. Head: distal half of the mandible not or partly reddened (
Fig. 21b
); flagellum brown (
Figs. 20c, d
). Mesosoma: wings light toned (
Fig. 20f
); pterostigma yellowish in the centre, brown marginated.

Pubescence. Head: clypeus with white hairs but no dark hairs (

Fig. 20d
). Metasoma: base of T1 with some white-yellowish hairs, scarcely hairy in the centre, T2-T4 depression zones with laterally white strong fragmented hair bands (dense rows of hairs) (
Fig. 20f
); T5 with some yellowish hairs; T6 with yellowish and partly reddish hairs in the centre and laterally with yellowish-white hairs (
Fig. 20f
); ST 8: with long white (yellowish) hairs at the end.
Structure. Head: vertex above the ocelli narrow, as wide as half of the ocellar diameter (
Fig. 20e
); clypeus larger, deeper, and denser punctured (PD = 14-32 μm); labrum process trapezoidal, emarginated (82%) (
Fig. 21b
), slightly emarginated (15%), ends left and right side (slightly) thickened (
Fig. 21b
). Mesosoma: deeper and denser punctured (PD = 14-28 μm); Metasoma: T1 slightly carinate, tergites very shallow and very scattered but not clearly punctured (PD = 14 μm).
D i s t r i b u t i o n: The main distribution of this endemic species is concentrated in the area Las Cañadas/Teide at altitudes of about
2000 m
a.s.l to
3300 m
a.s.l. (observations of LARA-
ROMERO et al. 2019
about
3300 m
a.s.l.). In the literature, some specimens were also detected in the Anaga area at lower altitudes (
500-1000 m
a.s.l., data from 1928 and 1952);
HOHMANN et al. (1993)
. It was not possible to to prove whether there was any confusion with
A.
a. acuta
. Despite intensive screening in March and May, we did not find any individual of
A. lineolata
in the Anaga area.
