A. punctum F. (= selenampha Guen., trivenefica Wlngrn., urba Wlngrn., natalensis Wlngrn.) (511). puncium. 

 Forewing dull fuscous, sometimes with a browner or a reddish tinge; inner and outer lines black, conversely 

 dentate lunulate, the inner erect, the outer excurved above middle; subterminal faint, with fuscous before it;
