Material examined.
1 female, Prov. Guangdong, Huizhou City, Mt. Nankunshan, 17.v.2003. M. Wang leg. Genit. prep. HHL-2913-2. Coll. SCAU, presently deposited in NEFU, Harbin. The specimen included to the typeseries of
A. owadai
as a paratype.

(
Fig. 7
). Wingspan 36–38 mm. The species is externally similar to its sister-species,
A. sinica
and
A. taiwani
, but can be distinguish from them by broader wings with less pointed apex, more vivid greenish patterns and the absence of reddish-brown suffusion in subterminal area.

A. owadai
differs from
A. sinica
by more massive uncus, larger, more triangular shape of cucullus, shorter and thicker harpe; vesica with larger and broader diverticula, medial cornutus larger and thinner than in
A.
sinica
.
Female genitalia
(
Fig. 41, 42
). The female of this species described by Kononenko (2001) as
A. sinica

Cenwanglaoshan, v.2002, leg. M. Wang; 1 specimen, Prov. Guangdong, Mt. Nanling, 22.vi.2003, leg. M. Wang (coll. SCAU) have been examined by authors only by photograph, without dissection. In fact those specimens belong to
