ID pointers: A similar looking moth to A.betuletana but can usually be distinguished by the stronger hook-like projection of the white median fascia into the black of the forewing. The median fascia is also more concave whereas it is straight in A.betuletana. Small black dots are also present in the wing tip area (subterminal fascia).
