Diagnosis. The wing pattern of P. spurcataria is almost identical to that of P. crypta ( Nepal) , except that the postmedial line on the hindwing is less serrate than in P. crypta . The male genitalia share a very slender uncus and median process of the gnathos with P. crypta , while the median process of the gnathos is much shorter; this process is much longer than the uncus in P. crypta , while shorter in P. spurcataria ; the eighth sternite of the male is distinctive in having a pair of processes, which are absent in all the other species whose male genitalia are known in this genus. The female genitalia share a distinct lamella postvaginalis with P. crypta , which consists of a pair of small blunt processes, rather than a semicircular sclerite as in other species; the antrum is longer; and the ductus bursae longer and narrower than those of P. crypta .
Distribution. China ( Taiwan, Guangxi, Sichuan, Yunnan, Tibet), India, Nepal.
