Diagnosis

This is a smaller and more lightly fasciated species than its Bornean congener and the type species.

Taxonomic Notes

The lectotype of caebata designated above has male genitalia and facies as in advocataria. P. fraterna Moore, described from Sri Lanka, flies with advocataria in India and S. China, but is slightly larger with the lines in the fasciae more numerous, resembling the new species described next.

P. oppositata* Snellen (= trimaculata Warren syn. n.; Sulawesi), with three strong black spots at the hindwing tail, may be merely a distinctive race of advocataria. However, the male genitalia (slide 499) show a number of minor differences: the uncus processes are more separated; the juxta is basally broader, the lower lobes slightly longer; the slender, curved processes of the valve are shorter, more robust; the digital process of the dorsal valve margin is straight, rather than curved.
