Type material. Holotype: 3, China: Li-kiang, Yunnan Province, 2000 m, 24.vi.1935, leg. H. Höne, genitalia slide No. 45, deposited at the Alexander Koenig Research Museum in Bonn ( Germany).
Diagnosis. This species differs from the other members of the group by the large black discal spot separated from the costal margin in the forewing; the cuiller does not reach the upper margin of the valva in the male genitalia as in A. ventrangulata ; it differs from the latter in its shorter aedeagus which is only two times longer than the cuiller.
Description. Adult (Fig. 4): Forewing span 25 mm. Head white on vertex and forehead, fuscous near base of antenna. Scape of antenna dark brown, the rest light brown. Labial palpus upcurved with appressed scales; middle segment white with fuscous scales at base; apical segment white with small fuscous ring at apex. Thorax fuscous. Ground colour of forewing white, tinged with yellowish brown, with brown specks, terminal ¼ paler than rest of wing. Discal spot large, black, not reaching costal margin; black point in middle of cell; between this point and discal spot with 2–3 black points; triangular black spot at base of forewing; many fuscous points along costal margin and termen; cilia pale. Hindwing whitish with small yellow tint.
Male genitalia (Fig. 9): Socii oblong in shape. Gnathos nearly rounded. Valva broad at base, narrowed to apex; ventral margin slightly concave or straight along distal part. Cuiller not reaching upper margin of valva. Saccus bow-shaped. Aedeagus 2 times longer than cuiller, strongly curved, with numerous tiny cornuti.
Female: Unknown.
Distribution. China: Yunnan (Li-kiang).
Etymology. The species is named after Hermann Höne, the collector of the holotype, a German Consul in Shanghai and an entomologist.
