Diagnosis. This species is similar to A. cuneatus by the dense, long pubescence, but it differs by the larger size ( 5.9–6.3 mm) and by the sides of pronotum convergent from base to apex.

Description ( Holotype): Body form, color and pubescence as in Fig. 4 View FIGURES 1 – 6 . Head and eyes distinctly convex; eyes protruding from head outline. Sides of pronotum rectilinear, distinctly convergent from base to apex; apical margin clearly narrower than basal margin; anterior pronotal lobe prominent, distinctly projecting beyond anterior pronotal angles; disk markedly convex with wide basal impression and very narrow lateral impressions; prehumerus long, extending almost to half of pronotal length, sharply costate, feebly arcuate sideward, with apex distant from marginal carina (lateral view).

Elytra without humeral carinae, slender, markedly attenuate apically; apices narrowly, separately arcuate; elytra slightly trichromatic with golden-green, black and carmine (on apices) patterns combined with trichromatic golden, whitish and reddish (on apices) pubescence.

Prosternum ( Fig. 36 View FIGURES 34 – 49 ): Prosternal lobe large, incised medially; prosternal process tricuspidate, with sides expanded, deeply impressed on disk with sharp, protruding ventrad angles. Basal abdominal ventrite without tubercles. Apex of last abdominal ventrite with weak emargination.

Aedeagus ( Fig. 59 View FIGURES 58 – 76 ).
