A. dariona, n. sp., resembles A. pardaliota and A. duodecimpunctata (Germar) in 
appearance, but the spots are on a black background instead of a red one as 
in pardaliota. The spots are larger than in duodecimpunctata. The male genitalia 
of dariona are like the last in that the styles are truncate apically, but the dor- 
sal lobe of the aedeagus is broader and shorter.
