Discussion
Bailey & Bailey (1941). Maiden (1915) delimits A. lineata as a polymorphic species, but circumscription is subsequently (Maiden & Blakely, 1926) narrowed through exclusion of A. centrinervia Maiden & Blakely. U.S. material, on which the above description is based, represents (apparently) only one phase of the emended species.
