These were all named by Strand (1917) as aberrations and these names have infrasubspecific rank. Gaede (1937) used these names for forms whereby they become species group names attributed to Gaede. Holloway (1985) unnecessarily introduced new species group names for two of these. Under the taxonomic arrangement of Holloway (1985) none of these names applies to A. describens Walker as treated here)
