The agassizi View in CoL group
The wing pattern of P. agassizi resembles that of P. obandai , however, the unusual male genitalia of P. agassizi argue against its placement in the obandai species group. We therefore tentatively place P. agassizi in its own species group. The valvae are very narrow with a long, unusually enlarged cucullus; the tegumen is very long; and the transtilla is strongly sclerotized and very narrow. Discovery of the female could clarify the taxonomic placement of the species. The larval host is unknown.
