Type material. Holotype ♂ (GP 5515 J. Tabell): Morocco, Ouezzane 300 m, 21‒22.IV.1989, Zool. Mus. Copenh. Exp. (coll. ZMUC) . Paratypes: 2 ♂, 1 ♀ (GP 5520 J. Tabell, DNA sample MM24639 Lepid Phyl), same collecting data as holotype (colls. ZMUC and TAB) .
Diagnosis. See Diagnosis under P. variocolor and P. azrouensis . Broader wings and longer labial palpi distinguish P. ternaria from P. variocolor , and P. azrouensis , the latter has more grey forewings (forewings are more yellow or brown in P. ternaria ). The genitalia differences between P. ternaria and P. azrouensis are small and quantitative, see text under P. azrouensis .
Molecular data. One specimen of P. ternaria was sequenced successfully, resulting in a 658 bp, full-length barcode fragment. The results are presented in the Molecular data section of P. variocolor .
Description. Adult. Wingspan 12.5–13.0 mm. Labial palpus ochreous brown, moderately long, about 6.5 x as long as diameter of eye (1 st and 2 nd segments), 3 rd segment 0.28 x as long as 1 st and 2 nd segments. Antenna 0.74 x length of forewing in male, in a single female both antennae are broken, brown, below annulated with white and black. Head, thorax and tegula concolorous with forewing. Forewing relatively broad, pale ochre, sparsely irrorated with brown scales, costal line slightly paler, narrow, in male brown discal spot inconspicuous or absent, in female the forewing paler, more densely covered with brown scales, discal, plical and discocellular spots distinct. Fringe concolorous with forewing, darker apically. Underside dark grey with a median spot, costa and fringe ochre. Hindwing and fringe grey, with long brown basal scales, underside pale grey, median spot elongated. Abdomen slightly lustrous, greyish brown, each segment with a transverse row of ochreous scales.
Male genitalia. Uncus bell-shaped in ventral view, shorter than gnathos, lined with several long bristles. Gna- thos funnel-shaped in ventral view, elongate, moderately narrow, medially covered with small nodules, gradually tapered towards apex, apex rounded. Anterior margin of tegumen arched. Valva sclerotized, upwards oblique, ventral margin medially concave, costa slightly bulged basally; valval lobe very long, ovoid, apical half nodular, strongly sclerotized, lined with few short bristles; cucullus thimble-shaped, ventrally less sclerotized; sacculus covered with long bristles. Juxta sclerotized; anterior extension straight, distally not dilated, posterior lobe
Biology. Unknown.
Distribution. Northern Morocco. Known only from the type locality at an altitude of 300 m.
Derivation of name. The specific epithet refers to three spots on the forewing of female adult.
