Schintlmeister (1991 [1992]) incorporated Hunyada Kiriakoff and Eupydna Fletcher within an expanded concept of Periergos Kiriakoff. S & P recorded P. hunyada Swinhoe from Vietnam, Cambodia, S. Thailand, and “widely distributed” in Sundaland and the Philippines. A. Schintlmeister (pers. comm.) has recorded a male from a montane locality near Loksado in S. Kalimantan. Externally this species and spinosa are very similar, but the latter has a swollen spined base to the upper arm of the valve rather than it being narrow throughout. S & P and Schintlmeister & Lourens (2010) included venosa Kiriakoff (Peninsular Malaysia) and the Philippines taxa marconia Schaus and callista West as synonyms of hunyada.
