Notes: From the records in the database, it would appear that this species has the same distribution and habitat requirements as A.pyramidea at a lower density. However, of 20+ individuals checked using forewing and palp characteristics (see here) in 2004, I found none to be this species: my hunch is that some records in the database may have been incorrectly assigned to berbera, based on dubious indicators such as abdominal markings, and the rarity of the current species in some areas perhaps indicates they have different needs. The current species tends to emerge about two weeks earlier than its congener. Occurs regularly at sugar in autumn.
