The adderis View in CoL group

The adderis group includes one species, P. adderis De Prins , n. sp. The very different male genitalia prevents its confident placement in any of the other proposed species groups. The male genitalia have a deeply bifurcate valva, with highly asymmetrical cucullus and sacculus. The bifurcation probably is autapomorphy for this informal species group. The discovery of the female might help resolve its taxonomic placement. Larvae of P. adderis feed on Malvaceae .
