Remarks. Fontana and Buzzetti (2004) described A. raggei based on a single male specimen collected in the “Bizana Province”, which showed some differences in the shape of the lateral lobe of the pronotum from the female holotype of A. capensis . However, having examined over 30 specimens from 5 locations in the Eastern Cape it appears that the perceived differences fit well within intraspecific variation observed in the populations of this species. The differences in the width of the fastigium of frons illustrated by Fontana and Buzzetti also fall within the variation observed in a single population of this species. Therefore we feel that A. raggei should be considered a junior synonym of A. capensis . A. capensis can be found on low vegetation, such as clumps of grass or short bushes, along roads or edges of thickets. In Fort Fordyce Nature Reserve this species could be found primarily on the side of the road that received more shadow during the day from the surrounding mountains and on low, herbaceous vegetation around water seeps on the mountain slopes. We were unable to record the stridulation of this species.
