Diagnosis.

This species was adequately described by Hering (1939a, b) and is characterised by the reduced and often indistinct hyaline markings. Indian specimens were not available for study but wings of both P. tetrica Hering and P. fukienica Hering, considered synonyms by Hancock (2012), were illustrated by Wang (1998).

Distribution.

This species is known in India only from the type locality in Tamil Nadu. Elsewhere, it is known from China, Taiwan, Vietnam and West Malaysia ( Hancock 2012).
