Diagnosis
The wings are a dull pale brown, the hindwings with a small pale discal spot ringed darker brown to black, often intensely as in the Bornean specimen illustrated. Confusion with P. contrariata Walker is possible but contrariatais more emphatically fasciated, and the hindwing discal spot is larger, white as well as black.
Taxonomic notes
The male fourth sternite has coremata. The uncus is very broadly bilobed. The valve ornamentation is costal, broad. There are coremata basal to the genitalia.
Geographical range
Indo-Australian tropics east to Queensland, Fiji, but not New Caledonia.
Habitat preference
Two Bornean specimens have been seen, both from areas of disturbed and secondary forest: Labi in Brunei and Brumas in Sabah.
Biology
Yunus & Ho (1980) recorded Derris (Leguminosae) as a host-plant in Malaysia.
