Identification:
Matches A. joiceyi in SOSEA in quite minute detail except for
the presence of the basal spot on dorsum . However, BOLD shows specimens of
joicei with the basal spot. All other features match - the brightish yellow
area beyond the post-discal band, shape of the inner-discal band, sharp bend in
the submarginal border, and the abdominal line ending in a wedge shaped spot.
A. cyclasticta has a wavy margin but otherwise similar.
