Diagnosis. The species is externally similar to A. protensa , A. paraisogona Park & Ponomarenko, 1996 and A. incerta Ueda, 1997 (most similar to the last of the three species) in that there is a large subtriangular patch on medial costa of their forewing, but it is clearly distinguishable by the following characteristics: 1) in the male of A. Isogona , scale pencils on the undersurface of forewing and on the mesothoracic anepisternum are absent, while in A. protensa (see Ueda 1997: 86) the latter is present only, and in A. paraisogona (see Bae et al. 2016: 228), the former is present only; 2) in the male sternite VIII of A. Isogona , it has a concavity at mesoanterior margin and a rounded posterior margin, while in A. protensa (see Ueda 1997: Fig. 22A) it has a concavity at mesoposterior margin, and in A. incerta (see Ueda 1997: Fig. 18A), it has a relatively less concave mesoanterior margin; 3) in the male genitalia of A. isogona , they have valvae that are rapidly narrowed apically beyond a convexity, left valva with a long and slender ventro-basal process, and right valva with a slender and weak process (see an arrow in Fig. 6F View FIGURE 6 ; see also Bae et al. (2016: Fig. 42)) and a short basal process, while in A. protensa (see Ueda 1997: Fig. 22C) they have valvae that have a broad apex, and left and right valvae without the processes, in A. paraisogona (see Park & Ponomarenko 1996: Fig. 33; Bae et al. 2016: Figs 43, 43a) they have a broad left valva with a basocostal process, and entirely slender right valva with a free ventral process, and in A. incerta (see Ueda 1997: Fig. 18C) they have valvae which are broad and have rounded apex; 4) in the female genitalia of A. isogona , they have trapezoidal tergite VIII, a pouch of sterigma, the same sized corpus bursae with the pouch of sterigma, and no signum, while in A. protensa (see Ueda 1997: Fig. 22D) and A. paraisogona (see Park & Ponomarenko 1996: Fig. 62) they have not the pouch of sterigma, clearly longer and larger ductus and corpus bursae, and signum present, and in A. incerta (see Ueda 1997: Fig. 18D) they have tergite VIII which is produced anteriorly into a trapezoidal plate at middle, and signum present.

Thorax: Notum brownish-gray speckled with whitish-gray. Tegula same as notum, with blackish extreme base. Forewing brownish-gray speckled with whitish-gray, irregularly suffused with grayish-brown; small blackish costal streak situated at base; two blackish costal marks around basal 1/5 (one right before basal 1/5 and other right after basal 1/5 of costa); large blackish costal patch subtriangular, situated at middle; two blackish costal marks beyond subtriangular medial patch (one right before distal 3/10 and other right after distal 3/10); a longitudinal blackish linear mark at basal 1/10 of subcosta (situated between basal part of Sc and Rs veins); two indistinct grayish-brown blotches at distal 3/10 and 1/5; grayish-brown blotch right before basal 1/10 of inner margin; obscure blackish dots along distal 1/5 of costa and along termen; fringe grayish-brown, mixed with dark grayish-brown and orangish-gray; pterostigma well-developed; venation ( Figs 5J, L View FIGURE 5 ) with R 1 arising beyond basal half of discal cell; Sc and R 1 invisible from subcosta to costa; distance between origins of R 1 and R 2 about 2.4× longer than that of R 2 and R 3; R 4 and R 5 stalked at basal 1/3–1/2; R 4+5 and M 1 unstalked or stalked at base; origins of M 2 and M 3 close; CuA 1 and CuA 2 free; 1A+2A forked at about basal 3/10; discal cell weakly closed. Hindwing hyaline in about basal 1/3, then covered with orangish-gray scales, gradually darker distally; veins covered with brown scales; fringe grayish-brown; basal half of costa convex; frenulum with acanthi fused distally into a single acanthus in male ( Fig. 5K View FIGURE 5 ), three frenula in female ( Fig. 5M View FIGURE 5 ); venation ( Figs 5J, L View FIGURE 5 ) with R 1 running into Sc from about basal 3/10 of discal cell (see arrows in Figs 5J, L View FIGURE 5 ); Rs preapical; Rs and M 1 stalked at about basal 1/5; distance between origins of Rs+M 1 and M 2 about 2× longer than that of M 2 and M 3; M 3, CuA 1 and CuA 2 free; discal cell closed. Hindtibia ( Figs 5H, I View FIGURE 5 ) orangish-gray with brown ventral half on outer surface, orangish-gray on inner surface; bristles orangish-gray; two pairs of spurs, one pair at middle, other pair at distal end. Hindtarsus ( Figs 5H, I View FIGURE 5 ) orangish-gray with brown scales.

Abdomen: Abdomen brownish-gray, mixed with whitish-gray; anal tuft brownish-orange in male, relatively shorter grayish-brown tuft in female. In male ( Fig. 6J View FIGURE 6 ; see also Bae et al.

In female ( Fig. 6K View FIGURE 6 ), tergite VII gradually narrowed anteriorly, posterior margin concave.

Male genitalia ( Figs 6A–G View FIGURE 6 ): See also Ueda (1997: Figs 17A–C); Bae et al. (2016: Figs 42, 42b). Uncus digitate, slightly downturned, gradually broadened basally, with setae on inner surface. Socius produced into ovaloid shape, bearing rather long setae on outer surface; length about 2.0× longer than length of uncus. Tegumen elongated, nearly same length as valva, narrowed beyond basal 1/2–1/3, slightly expanded laterally before being narrowed; basolateral ovaloid expansion well-developed. Valvae asymmetrical, with numerous palmately modified scales in distal half; left valva broadened ventro-medially with a pouch-like complex fold, then rapidly tapered apically; a ventro-basal process of left valva well-sclerotized, slender, entirely curved upward, with widened base and sharply pointed tip; right valva gently convex ventrally in basal 2/3, then rapidly narrower apically, with a slender and weak process (arising from basal 3/10–1/5 of ventral margin (see an arrow in Fig. 6F View FIGURE 6 ; see also Bae et al. (2016: Fig. 42))) and a small and free sclerotized basal process. Vinculum narrow. Juxta with sclerotized medial ridge vertically and two setose ovaloid lobes (one on each side). Phallus slender, downturned in basal 3/5, then slightly upturned with sharp tip, about 0.6× shorter than length of valva; coecum thorn-shaped, curved posteriorly at base.

Female genitalia ( Figs 6H, I View FIGURE 6 ): See also Ueda (1997: Fig. 17D). Papillae analis broad, trapezoidal with numerous setae. Apophyses posteriores about 3× longer than length of apophyses anteriores. Tergite VIII depressed trapezoidal; a small ventral triangular sclerite situated at near medial anterior margin. Sterigma produced anteriorly into triangular shape at middle of anterior margin, then connected with membranous funnel-like tube followed by a large ovoidal pouch. Ostium bursae situated beyond middle; lamella postvaginalis semicircular arch-shaped; lamella antevaginalis semicircular to trapezoidal. Antrum funnel shaped, as long as ductus bursae. Ductus bursae wrinkled; ductus seminalis arising from anterior end. Corpus bursae ovoidal, same sized with pouch of sterigma; signum absent.
