The data on the remarkable entomophagous habits of the species 

 are not recorded in the original description. They are the more 

 unexpected because the closely allied Javanese species, P. rescissa 

 Meyrick, simply feeds on fruits of Cynometra edulifolia. 



Male genitalia: Tegumen erected- triangular, high and rather 

 slender, right and left halves slanting slightly towards each other, 

 basal angles prominent. Uncus and gnathos absent. Valva simple, 

 rather long, sacculus 1/3, incision moderate, semioval, cucullus elongate 

 oval, with long bristly hairs along ventral side. Aedeagus moderate 

 and slender, apical third, a narrow tube. Sclerotized edge of the 

 eighth sternite (mensis ventralis) narrow and long, Fl-shaped, each 

 leg ending in a very long and slender corema.
