Il me rappelle A. dispersus mihi de la Cote d'Ivoire, mais il me faut de le voir directement et non seulement avec photo (meme si est très belle).

Thanks for your answers.
Yes it looks like close to A. (Robertius) dispersus, the biggest difference with your description is the pronotum.
For this specimen the widest is at the posterior angles in a ratio of 6,5/6 versus anterior angles.
Do you see after other specimens that the female holotype?

The astonishing thing about this specimen is that it was collected at light, maybe disturbed nearby.

I have the holotype only, sorry.

As regard as the light capture, it is no common, but it can happen in tropical areas where nighttime temperatures are high.
