Revised orbital elements of the A3 Vm type single line spectroscopic binary 41 Sex A are presented. Along with many Am stars, 41 Sex A also shows a pseudo-luminosity effect quite clearly at a higher dispersion. Metallic lines in its spectra show pronounced variation with phase, the maximum strengths occurring at approximately 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1.0 of its orbital phase. The star appears to have four abundance patches indicating a quadrupole magnetic configuration. The phase modulated spectral variation in 41 Sex A suggests that it represents a new class of Am variables.
