Remarks. This species was recorded from California by Gates et al. (2002), without detailed locality data. Gordh (1979: 920–921) regarded Gibberella scutellata Miller, 1961 as a junior synonym of A. bicoloripes, and included the host record of Phyllonorycter lucetiella (Clemens) (as Lithocolletis lucetiella) as originally noted by Miller (1961). Noyes (2001) treated them as separate species, but mistakenly transferred the host record of P. lucetiella to A. bicoloripes .
