The female of A. zetteli is similar to A. fischeri but differs in having a black pronotal collar distinctly punctate (punctures 0-2 diameters apart) ( A. fischeri has a reddish-brown pronotal collar only slightly punctate).

The episternal sulcus extends to the anteroventral margin of the mesopleuron and the arolia are present. Additionally, the clypeus, the frons, the vertex and the pronotal collar are impunctate. The female of A. snizeki is similar to A. insignis but differs in being smaller (18.5 mm) and having the frons and the vertex impunctate ( A. insignis has a bodylength of 26-33 mm and frons and vertex are punctate). The female of A. snizeki differs from A. rubripes in having a characteristically shaped clypeus (Fig. 24) (Clypeus of A. rubripes see Fig. 43).</p><p>D e s c r i p t i o n: Gaster dorsally black, without metallic shine, pruinose.
