Differs from A. immunis in the scutellum being 

 smooth and impunctate, and in the petiole being 

 somewhat shorter, it being distinctly shorter than the 

 second segment. As is the case with A. immunis, the 

 coloration of the legs varies somewhat, especially the 

 femora, which have frequently the reddish colour more 

 or less obscured with fuscous. Also the abdomen 

 may be piceous-red. 



Widely distributed. 



Continental distribution : Sweden, Germany.
