Taxonomic notes.

P. cherrug shows in the genitalia of both sexes a very close relationship with P. sagittigera . The shared characters are as follows: in male genitalia the similar and unusual shape of the cucullus, the very long tubular and completely helicoid vesica nearly completely covered by a long and broad stripe of dense spinulose structures; in female genitalia the long and broad, dorso-ventrally flattened ductus bursae, the similar shape of the appendix bursae and one long and one shorter stripe of sigma. Both species are also bionomically closely related, they have grass-feeding larvae in contrast to the dicot herbaceous and woody food plants of Polia spp. The distribution and certain taxonomic questions are discussed in detail by Dinca (2010).
