A. pictas I should feel sure that Grassi’s and Loew’s species are 
the same, for the third costal spot can be seen on the first long 
vein in A. pseudopicius, and does not, as Loew says of A. pictus , 
reach the margin (costa) of the wing, but in Loew’s species the 
internal fringe is formed by alternate patches of white and 
brown scales.

Like A. Sinensis, but the cross-veins are further apart, the 
costal spots smaller, the palpi and proboscis more scaly and of 
nearly equal length.
