 notched in each division. Oviduct much less than half the length of the 

 abdomen. Legs rather stout, moderately long ; femora and four anterior 

 tibiae with very minute spines; hind femora incrassated for much more than 

 half the length from the base ; fore tibia? slightly dilated at the base; hind 

 tibiae with rather small spines. Fore wings rather narrow, shorter by half 

 a line than the hind wings; hind border with brown points; large areolets 

 mostly regular ; longitudinal veins with the usual structure. Hind wings

It differs from P. subroseala in the costa being like the rest of the fore 

 wings in colour. The stripes on the prothorax and the rather shorter hind 

 tibiae distinguish it from P. congrua. The colour of the antenna} and the 

 more regular large areolets of the fore wings distinguish it from P.glauces- 

 cens. The hind tibiae are much shorter than those of P. valida.
