Diagnosis ( Figures 2c , 3c , 4c, 4 aa,b, 5a, 5aa)

This species is externally close to P. brevivalva Lvovsky, 2000a , in the wing pattern, but it can be differentiated by the fore wing with a white medial band. The male genitalia are also similar to those of P. brevivalva Lvovsky but it can be distinguished by the relatively longer and thinner juxta, and bent aedeagus.
