Diagnosis.

Externally P. perversalis differs from other species treated here by the forewing colour which is pale greyish brown with pale yellowish grey markings. The male genitalia are as those of P. regalis. The female genitalia resemble those of P. cardinalis in being devoid of the braid-shaped ductus bursae. Unlike P. cardinalis , the inception of the ductus seminalis is not broadened or sclerotized; posterior quarter of the ductus bursae is not narrow posteriorly.

Molecular data.

BIN: replace: BOLD:AAX9987. The analyzed specimens show no intraspecific variability in the DNA barcode region (N = 2). The minimum distance to the nearest neighbour, P. kacheticalis , is 6.57%.

Distribution.

Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Russia (European part to S. Urals), Ukraine, Slovakia ( Nuss et al. 2004-2020), Central Asia and Mongolia ( Slamka 2006).
