 segments following entirely (except a few black hairs at base of 2. and 3.) ruf o-f ulvous ; hairs of scutellum 

 (except at extreme sides anteriorly) of metathorax, of 1. abdominal segment and of 2. except apical margin,

 Closely allied in all respects to A. atrocincta Lep., but smaller, with the wings pallid, suffused with brown along 

 the veins, the reddish hair not so bright and the lateral black areas of the clypeus indented below, the whole 

 shaped like a boot with a sharp toe and a large heavy heel. The black areas of the clypeus are dull and 

 granulär, with rather sparse shallow punctures. The pygidial plate has dark hairs et its sides, but there is no 

 black patch on the 5. segment, such as there is in A. atrocincta (= plumipes F.). L. 13 mm.

 long hair-fringes, which are fuscous in the middle and white laterally. The wings are dusky and subviolaceous.
