Forewing (Fig. 14) cream sprinkled and suffused with pale brown; costal strigulae whitish; divisions brown; leaden grey lines from costa and subterminal area; dorsal patch indistinct accompanied by several similar lines chiefly towards wing base; distinct black spots in ocellus.

In forewing markings, A. hilara is similar to A. pyrozona (Meyrick), but A. hilara has a paler posterior one-third of the forewing marked with several small spots.
