Forum Entomologi Italiani

It was among a series of A. insignis specimens. It distinguishes from A. insignis specimens with its smaller size ( only 7 mm) and the dark band on the posterior part of the pronotum. I couldn't see any difference in the male genitalia...

Male genitalia

It is just a small specimen of A. insignis, as confirmed by the male genitalia; the coloration is a bit unusual, but not surprising considering that a dark preapical band is a common feature in the genus.

Thank you alot for the confirmation, it is rather interesting that such a black band can occur in A. insignis since the absence of this feature is used to differentiate it from other species.
