Type. USNM

Distribution. N

Host/habitat. Caloptilia sp., Cameraria caryaefoliella , C. cincinnatiella , C. diabloensis , C. gaultheriella , C. ulmella , C. sp. probably wislizeniella, C. sp., Marmara fraxinicola , Phyllonorycter sp., Stigmella inconspicuella , S. sp.

Remarks. This species was recorded from California by Gates et al. (2002), without detailed locality data. Gordh (1979: 920–921) regarded Gibberella scutellata Miller, 1961 as a junior synonym of A. bicoloripes , and included the host record of Phyllonorycter lucetiella (Clemens) (as Lithocolletis lucetiella ) as originally noted by Miller (1961). Noyes (2001) treated them as separate species, but mistakenly transferred the host record of P. lucetiella to A. bicoloripes .
