unsclerotized folded tube, which ends in a small sclerotized knob 
with long setae. 
Immature stages unknown. 
Previous distribution: U.S.A.: Arizona; Mexico: Sinaloa. 
New material examined: U.S.A.: new Mexico*: Las Cruces, 1 
male, VII-28-VIII-3-1975, W. P. Morrison, light trap; 1 male, V-3-6- 
1975, W. P. Morrison, light trap; Mexico: Cholla Bay, 1 male, IV- 
25-1959, M. S. Adachi. 
Notes: Meinander referred to the appendages of the 9th sternum 
and the transverse plate as a forward directed process. This was 
evidently due to the transverse plate and appendages of the 9th 
sternum being pulled forward out of their normal position behind 
the process of the 9th sternum. He erroneously considered the large 
process of the 9th sternum to be formed by the appendages of the 
9th sternum. The process of the 9th sternum of A. punctata differs 
from the processes of maculipennis and arizonica mainly in size with 
that of maculipennis being larger. 
Female genitalia, description and illustration from Meinander.
