Comments. Ptilona conformis was described from southern China by Zia (1965). It was removed from synonymy of P. persimilis Hendel and recorded from China, Thailand, Laos, West Malaysia and Brunei by Hancock (2011). The present found is the first record of this species from, Meghalaya, India. P. confinis (Walker) with widespread distribution in India is the only other species of Ptilona recorded from this country. Ptilona conformis resembles P. d ol o ro s a Hering ( Hancock, 2011), but differs from it and all related species in having the hyaline indentation at base of stigma confined to cell r1 or only very narrowly crossing vein R2+3 ( Hancock, 2011; Hancock, 2012), not extending almost or entirely across cell r2+3. In addition, P. do l o ro s a has the hyaline spot in cell m more evenly rounded.
