COMMENTS: The description of this species was based on a series of specimens, including males from East
Nepal
, and females from Meghalaya and northern
Thailand
. These females were previously mentioned but unidentified in
Löbl (1982a: 160
,
1984b: 62
and
1990: 514
). The males from Meghalaya recorded above confirm the identity of the formerly unidentified females. A specimen from Yunnan, possessing similar external characters, was erroneously reported in
Löbl, 1999: 721
as
P. bicolor
. It represents a distinct species described below. The aedeagus of
P. bicolor
was illustrated (
Löbl, 1992: 597
) only in dorsal view. Its shape in lateral view provides additional diagnostic characters: parameres are evenly bent in lateral view, each bearing an apical membranous lobe.
