Extremely near the South European A. cyaneus, but 

 rather larger and more robust, the thorax a little more 

 sinuate and narrowed at the base, and the elytra pro- 

 longed at the sutural apex with more distinct ante-apical 

 sinuation. The 1st ventral segment has a few punctures 

 on each side.
