(Reddish-) bronze-coppery throughout with much white mealiness below. Puncturation on abdominal ventrites comprising elongate carinulae. Closely related to A. sp. Golden bronze, which is (greenish-) gold rather than coppery below and has a slightly different aedeagus. In A. sp. Broombush the aedeagus parameres have no small lateral projections before the apex and a larger quite obvious transparent zone. The pronotum is also more strongly tapered towards the head and is consistently widest at its posterior end, and the outline of the eltra is more angled.
The female has an exceptionally long ovipositor relative to the body length.
