Diagnosis. This and the next species have similar uniform grey forewings, but the
angled forewing margin in lithosiaria has been lost in rigorata; the
latter has straight oblique fasciae, but these are irregular and only strong
costally and sometimes dorsally in lithosiaria. The female forewings are
more rufous in lithosiaria.
Taxonomic notes. The species is close in facies to the Himalayan A. quadraria Warren
comb. rev. It resembles the next species also, sharing the uniform, grey
forewings and spinose aedeagus apex.
Geographical range. Borneo, Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra.
Habitat preference. The species is found in both lowland and lower
montane forest zones.
