This and the next species have ashy grey forewings, strongly fasciated as illustrated. The two can be distinguished as indicated in the diagnosis of the next.
Taxonomic Notes
No differences between the genitalia of murudensis and labeculata could be detected.
P. deviaria* Prout stat. & comb. n. (New Guinea, ?Seram) was originally described as a subspecies of labeculata. Though very similar in facies, it has male genitalia more typical of other New Guinea species (no costal spur to the valve, cornuti in the aedeagus vesica and on the anellus).
Geographical Range
Borneo.
