Your photo Nikita shows the typical 5th sternite in profile of these two species, projecting downwards. A. confusanea was only separated from liturata in 1985, so the distribution in FE is probably incomplete, based on dets by Michelsen and myself. I have found it flying with liturata in quite a few localities. The female (and to some extent the male) has traces of orange on the hind tibia.
