Redescription
Adult ( Figure 8 View Figures 7–12 ): Wing expanse 16.0–19.0 mm. Vertex and frons dark brown. Antenna brown. Labial palpus white; basal half grayish-brown; second segment with long scales; third segment slightly drooping. Thorax pale white intermitted with brown. Tegula white. Forewing with upperside ground color grayish-white, costal half white, dorsal half grayish-brown; basal patch dark grayish-brown, flabelliform, from costal 1/3 to dorsum; median and postmedian fascia with a gray streak from midwing of costa to dorsum; a subrectangular dark grayish blotch marking between postmedian and subterminal fasciae from midwing to dorsum; subterminal fascia with two short streaks, one brown, the other dark; speculum grayish, formed by three anomalous spots; apex falcate, rubiginous; costa with nine pairs of strigulae from base to apex; each strigula with a gray silvery stria extending obliquely; strigulae one to four distributed between base of the wing and the point where Sc meets costa; strigulae one and two occupying an interfascial position, between basal and subbasal fascia position, indistinct or absent in some specimens; strigula three single, marking distal margin of subbasal fascia; strigula four single, marking proximal margin of median fascia, separated from three by dark brown spot; striae rarely extending beyond Sc; strigulae five and six approximate at distal margin of median fascia, appearing as a single paired strigula; striae from these pairs usually confluent to termen; the distal three pairs distributed between pairs of veins R 1 –R 2, R 2 –R 3 and R 3 –R 4, respectively, bordered by reddish-brown, separated from each other by dark brown spots; striae arising from them often becoming confluent, and extending obliquely to termen between R 5 and M 1; cilia pale white. Hindwing with upperside ground and cilia grayish-brown. Legs grayish-yellow, tarsi of fore and mid legs with brown scales.
Male genitalia ( Figure 33 View Figures 32–37 ): Uncus atrophied. Socius oval, large, setose. Valva slender; broad basally; basal cavity large; sacculus with an obtuse projection; neck slender; cucullus kidney-shaped. Aedeagus slender; vesica with a bundle of cornuti.
Female genitalia ( Figure 55 View Figures 55–60 ): Papilla analis broad and large. Apophysis anterioris equal to apophysis posterioris, both short. Sterigma lip-shaped, well sclerotized. Antrum well sclerotized. Ductus bursae with cingulum at posterior 2/3. Corpus bursae circular, with a pair of equal-sized signa, blade-shaped.

Remarks
This species is superficially similar to A. amplimacula but can be distinguished by the forewing with the flabelliform basal patch, and a subrectangular dark grayish blotch marking between postmedian and subterminal fasciae, the absent uncus, the kidneyshaped cucullus in the male genitalia, the broad and large papilla analis longer than the apophysis anterioris, and the lip-shaped sterigma in the female genitalia.
This species has not been documented since its original description by Meyrick (1935). The female is described for the first time in science.
