Type material examined. INDIA: lectotype ♀ P. noctua (here designated): ‘Type H.T.’ ‘ Penthimia noctua Dist. Type [hw]’ ‘Darjiling, Himalaya, Railway, 1600ft, 23.iv.15 ’,‘Distant coll. 1911-383’ (BMNH).

Remarks. This species was described from an unknown number of specimens (syntypic) with the following data: ‘Darjiling.’ The identity and therefore validity of the species (known only from the female) is uncertain.
