2. Median segment less than

metanotum 
3. Supraanal plate of female

5. Subgenital plate of female 
barely exceeding the end of 
the abdomen (Figure 26)

Distribution: The genus is known only from the West Indies, 
with the type species, A. iphimedeia from eastern Puerto Rico and 
a second species, described by Saussure (1868) as Pygirhynchus 
thomae ^ from St. Thomas, and herein recorded from western Puerto 
Rico. The females of these two species may be distinguished : 
1. Supraanal plate subquadrate, broadly rounded and with a median 
notch apically, shorter than abdominal segment X ; mesonotum 
more than three times the length of the metanotum; anterior 
femora shorter than the posterior .... A. iphimedeia new species, 
i'. Supraanal plate lanceolate, longer than abdominal segment X; 
mesonotum less than three times the length of the metanotum ; 
anterior femora longer than the posterior 
A. thomae (Saussure).
