Bronzed brown colour, pre-marginal carinula absent, anterior prosternal lobe lacking tooth, abdominal ventrites with uniform pubescence, perisutural elytral pubescence (Curletti 2001). Somewhat similar to A. kangaroo (q.v.) but smaller.
A poorly known and collected species in SA. It was described by Hope 1846b with the type specimen from Morialta (as Moriatta) but does not seem to have been recorded in the Adelaide area subsequently. Widely distributed in Australia, but with relatively few collections.
