Ground-colour deep ochreous-brown, the markings blackish and similar to those of the subspecies of A. ilia mentioned above, but the rounded spots in the distal area of the hindwing are absent, there being here a narrow blackish band at the outer side of which stands a row of whitish spots. Female not known. — West China : Pu-tsu-fong, Wa-ssukow, Omei-shan, in June and July, at altitudes of from 1200 to 3000 m. [2]
