No species of this genus has yet been recorded from within our northern limits. 
Specimens of a species closely allied to A. Cleanthe, from Tekes, Kashgar, are in the 
British Museum Collection. A. montana, Leech, occurs in H. Tibet and Western 
China ; A. Leda (Leech, Entom. 1891, p. 57) is also described from W. China. Also 
A. Halimede, Menetries (Leech, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1889, p. 101, pl. 8, figs. 5, 6).
