Distribution: Type locality: Nova Scotia.
Genitalia: See Heinrich (1923), Bull. U.S. Nat. Mus. 123: 236; pl. 56, fig. 395. Per McDunnough (1955), Heinrich's figure for spiraeifoliana, fig. 395, refers to discigerana and his figure for discigerana, fig. 392 refers to A. s. sierrae), an error which Heinrich (1932) later acknowledged.
