Remarks. The brown vestiture of the body, brown patterns of the legs, wing venation, and the three white tomentose stripes on the pleuron of
P. hypnus
are similar to
P. apoticius
and
P. misamis
but differs in the brown fore coxa and trochanters, and in the characters of the male terminalia (see
Oldroyd 1972
, Figure 125), especially the wide, emarginated, yellow apex of the median branch of the epandrium.
