Hah. Brazil, Espiritu Santo. 



This species is very closely allied to the well-known 

 A. tricolor, Perty, and of exactly the same coloration, 

 but differs in the shape of the thorax, which is much 

 shorter, more transverse, and has the sides much more 

 strongly ruunded than in the allied species, there is also 

 a very strongly-pronounced purplish gloss, absent in its 

 ally. I only know the female of this species, which is of 

 smaller size than A. tricolor.
