P. pulchella is the commonest and most widespread member of the genus. These new records extends its range yet much further east from Celebes and the Philippines to western (Irian Jaya) and eastern (Papua) New Guinea. The specimens from Dory (spelled ‘Dorey’ in Wallace’s "The Malay Archipelago"), the site of present-day Manokwari in Irian Jaya, were collected by Alfred Russel Wallace between March and July 1858.

Twenty-four other specimens from India, Sri Lanka, West Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam were found in the Geneva museum collection.
