Diagnosis: This species can be recognized by the scent gland, which is similar to the one presented by A. minutissimus . However, it distinguishes from A. minutissimus by the wider peritreme in both anterior and posterior branches, the longer carina-like vein on the hemelytra and the absence of punctures or punctures marks on the hemelytra.

Description: Body: Reddish brown; antennae, rostrum and legs lighter; head whitish ( Fig. 27A View Figure 27 ). Head: Pubescent, with small and well-spaced hairs; clypeus darker than head, same colour as antennae; antenniferous process less than half of pedicel length ( Fig. 27E View Figure 27 ); pedicel twice the size of scape; eyes with just a few scarcely distributed ommatidia; bucculae rounded, widest anteriorly, with scarce hairs on its border and punctures organized in a single row in the middle; rostrum reaching at least third abdominal segment ( Fig. 27B, C View Figure 27 ). Thorax: Finely punctate, with tiny punctures on collar and on the posterior lobe of pronotum; anterior border straight, posterior only slightly sinuous; paranota carinate with hairs and few scattered scale-like projections on its border ( Fig. 27F View Figure 27 ); scutellum large, about one-fourth of the maximum pronotum width ( Fig. 27D View Figure 27 ). Hemelytra: Coriaceous and coleopteroid, evenly pubescent; laterally constricted anteriorly; carina-like vein extending from the anterior border to the final third of hemelytra, fading abruptly; finely impressed by punctures anteriorly up to the hemelytra constriction, completely smooth posteriorly to the hemelytra constriction. Scent gland: Anterior branch presenting a lightly cracked texture, tip tilted horizontally, slightly longer than half of the rest of the anterior branch; posterior branch lightly curved, with evenly enlarged edges through its whole extant and the same cracked texture observed on the anterior branch; sulcus more prominent on posterior branch than in anterior branch; evaporatorium with curved border anteriorly, advancing to up to one-third of the mesopleuron on its upper part ( Figs 16H View Figure 16 – 27C View Figure 27 ).

Etymology: This species was named after the Sucre state, in Venezuela, where the type was collected.
