Description. Adult (Fig. 64) wingspan 11.0̄12.0 mm. Head with vertex white, frons pale fuscous, face yellowish white. Labial palpus pale yellow, mixed with pale fuscous laterally. Antenna with scape white, tinged with yellow on margins, pecten fuscous; flagellum black dorsally, yellowish white ventrally, dotted with pale yellow on each flagellomere dorsally. Foreleg with femur blackish fuscous on inner surface, tibia black on inner surface, dotted with black near base, at middle, and on distal part laterally, first tarsomere blackish fuscous on inner surface, dotted with black near middle and on distal part laterally, other tarsomeres blackish fuscous distally, remainder yellowish white; midleg mostly yellowish white, femur dotted with black on inner surface at base and middle, tibia dotted with black near base, at middle, and on distal part dorsally, first tarsomere dotted with black at middle and on distal part dorsally, distal parts of second and third tarsomeres black dorsally, distal two tarsomeres black; hindleg white, femur with a gray dot at middle laterally, tibia gray laterally, black distally, each tarsomere black distally. Thorax white; tegula golden fuscous. Forewing ratio 5.5; rust fuscous, with dense transverse fuscous striae; costa with basal 4/5 tinged with yellow, with about 20 transverse blackish-fuscous striae; golden fuscous streak below basal 2/ 5 of fold, with a blackish-fuscous spot distally; fold with a blackish-fuscous spot at distal 1/5, band-shaped, its distal part extending upward to near distal end of upper margin of discal cell, its lower margin sometimes reaching dorsum; distal 3/10 with several white dots along wing margin; dorsal band white, extending beyond tornus, scattered with fuscous scales; blackish-fuscous spot near tornus; cilia golden fuscous on costa and around apex, gray on termen and near tornus. Hindwing and cilia uniformly gray. Abdomen blackish gray dorsally; ventral surface pale yellowish fuscous mixed with gray in male, yellowish white tinged with pale fuscous on third to sixth segments, pale yellowish fuscous on seventh segment in female. Male with lateral lobe of eighth abdominal segment with corner between lines linking apex to dorsal base and to ventral base 72̄73° (n = 8) (Fig. 300); female with tergite and sternite straight or nearly so on posterior margin in seventh segment (Fig. 303).
Male genitalia (Figs. 130, 186, 242): Tuba analis shorter than width of valva. Socius with a process before middle on posterior margin, covered with one or two scale-like setae basally and two similar setae near apex, bearing two short setae apically; distal half covered with five to seven scale-like setae (Fig. 242). Gnathos inflated distally, with three to four long thick setae apically. Valva oval, widest at middle; a row of long setae from base medially to distal area. Saccus longer than width of valva, with distal part narrowed, nearly linear. Phallus nearly straight, more sclerotized distally, about 8.0 times as long as width of valva (Fig. 186). Second sternite with about nine micro-setae in each row; eighth sternite V or Y-shaped. Coremata present.
Female genitalia (Fig. 288): Ovipositor 2.5 times as long as eighth segment. Anterior apophysis 2/3 length of posterior, bifurcate at middle; branch bifurcated a second time, with dorsal branch weakly extending to lamella postvaginalis, ventral branches fused, forming ventral margin of ostium bursae. Lamella postvaginalis triangular, concave anteriorly. Antrum funnel-shaped, half length of eighth segment. Ductus bursae spinulate from opening of ductus seminalis to corpus bursae; ductus seminalis originating from anterior 1/3 of ductus bursae. Corpus bursae ovate, narrower anteriorly, sometimes slightly concave medially, densely denticulated posteriorly; signum with basal plate short, rectangular, horns straight, extending outward horizontally, anterior margin straight.

DNA sequences: Two COI barcodes were sequenced (one male and one female). The genetic distance is 0.3% between the two conspecifics, with interspecific genetic distances of 2.2̄2.6% between A. (A.) surrecta and A. (A.) lanosa, sp. nov. (Table 2).
Distribution. China (Fujian, Guangxi, Guizhou, Henan, Hunan, Yunnan).
Diagnosis. The diagnosis is given under A. (A.) lanosa, sp. nov.
Etymology. The specific name is derived from the Latin surrectus, meaning nearly straight, referring to the nearly straight phallus as compared to the curved phallus of its congeners, A. (A.). angusta and A. (A.) lanosa, sp. nov.
