This species agrees with A. cinera Coq. in possessing marginal 
macrochsetse on the second abdominal segment, but differs in 
having the apical cell closed. It differs from A. glabra West MS 
in having the squamae infuscated, and from A. calyptrata West 
MS in regard to the shape of the head, as well as in certain 
characters furnished by the bristles of the legs.
