Similar species.
The most similar species is
P. decipiens
, females of which can be distinguished by having a posteriorly excised hypopygium (not excised in
P. pseudodecipiens
). Males are best recognised by examining penis valves.
Genetic data.
Based on COI barcode sequences,
P. pseudodecipiens
belongs to the same BIN cluster (BOLD:AAK9450) as
P. abietina
,
P. compressa
,
P. decipiens
,
P. gerula
,
P. saxesenii
, and possibly
P. robusta
(Fig. 5). Maximum distance within the BIN is 2.18% and minimum between species distance is 0.00%. The nearest neighbour to BOLD:AAK9450, diverging by minimum of 3.92%, is BOLD:ACO1401 (
P. euxantha
). No nuclear data available.
Host plants.
Picea abies
(L.) Karsten (
Benes
and
Kristek
1976
),
P. pungens
Engelm. (
Kula et al. 2016
