General Description
provided by University of Alberta Museums
Overall very similar to A. argyrospila but the markings tend to be much more subdued to being nearly absent. It also tends to be slightly larger and mottling is less pronounced on the forewing. The forewing is normally dull greyish brown but varies from greyish olive to greyish red. The hindwings are typically grey.
The larva is similar to A. argyrospila but is slightly larger and the head is brown with a darker patch near the ocelli. (MacKay 1962)
