Members of this genus have four long veins, the cross vein lying 

 nearly parallel to costa and the third joining the margin at or a 

 little beyond the apex. The antennal segments are stemmed in 

 the male, sessile in the female and usually composed of more than 

 16 segments, one American species having 28. The palpi are long* 

 quadriarticulate. Rubsaamen has illustrated the wing of A. 

 longicauda H. Lw., showing subcosta uniting with the margin 

 at the basal third, the third vein with the base somewhat curved,
