At once recognisable by the very broad (as much as 5 mm) black distal band (also in the male). Beneath the postmedian band of the hindwing is irregular and interrupted. A. oberthuri Stgr. [now subspecies] also has a very broad marginal band above; but the under surface is muchmore irregularly marked. Besides separated from alaconia by a distinct anal lobe of the hindwing; it has, however, no tails. [3]
