Etymology
editThe species is named in honour of Mostafa Chamran (1932–1981).[2]
Specifics
editThe species has a wingspan of 34–35 mm.[1] The wing pattern, external and genitalia characteristics of the species are very similar to those of A. eucratides, which has been found only in eastern Afghanistan at altitudes of 2050 to 2450 m of the Hindu Kush Mountains.[1] Based on biological and geographical closeness, these two species are described as sisters.[1]
