Remarks

• Systematics: This species is sympatric with A. pieridis, but has been collected at lower altitudes, and shares one of the host plants, Pieris formosa, with the latter. In morphological characters it does not appear to be related to the latter particularly closely. Among the species of the rosae group, this species is easily recognizable in the posterior spiracles each provided with a well-developed dermal fold laterally, which bears a row of disc pores along. (Takagi, 2017)
• Structure: Adult female at full growth with prosoma swollen, much broader than postsoma, rounded along free margin; prosomatic tubercles indiscernible; metathorax and basal 2 abdominal segments nearly same in width, well lobed laterally; pygidium obdeltoid, apically with a recess; peribuccal scleroses usually not developed. Anterior spiracles each with a loose group of disc pores; posterior spiracles each with a longitudinally arciform fold of derm laterally, some disc pores being arranged along the crease of the fold and others scattered mesally to the fold and around spiracular orifice. Perivulvar disc pores numerous in 5 groups. (Takagi, 2017) Second instar female with single marginal macroducts on abd IV–VII, at times also on III. (Takagi, 2017)
• General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration in Takagi, 2017.
