An affine pseudo-plane X is a smooth affine surface defined over C which is endowed with an A 1 -fibration such that every fiber is irreducible and only one fiber is a multiple fiber. If there is a hyperbolic Gm-action on X and X is an ML 1 -surface, we shall show that the universal covering X is isomorphic to an affine hypersurface x r y = z d − 1 in the affine 3-space A 3 and X is the quotient of X by the cyclic group Z/dZ via the action (x, y, z) → (ζx, ζ −r y, ζ a z), where r 2, d 2, 0 < a < d and gcd(a, d) = 1. It is also shown that a Q-homology plane X with κ(X) = −∞ and a nontrivial Gm-action is an affine pseudo-plane. The automorphism group Aut(X) is determined in the last section.
