The
dejeani
species-group
Diagnosis.
The
dejeani
species-group is distinguished from
pica
and
glacialis
species-groups by the combination of the following characters: 1) Two transverse bands present on forewing and the posterior part of the medial band is clearly bent inwards, while these bands are replaced by a single large and broad medial blackish band in
glacialis
species-group and the medial band is situated more or less outwards and in a line with the anterior part. 2) Blackish marking absent at the distal end of the discal cell on hindwing, similar to the
pica
species-group, while in the
glacialis
species-group a prominent blackish dot is present. 3) In male genitalia, the posterior tegumenal projection is smaller and narrower without lateral extension, similar to that of the
glacialis
species-group, while it is larger and broader with lateral extension in
pica
species-group. 4) In female genitalia, the posterior end of ductus bursae forms a sclerotized antrum and fuses with the ostial plate, while in the
pica
and
glacialis
species-groups the posterior end of ductus bursae is membranous, thickened and well separated from the lamella postvaginalis.
Remarks.
1) Since
P. bieti
comb. n.
and
P. basiflava
comb. n.
are currently members of the
P. pica
species-group, appliance of the name “
bieti
species-group” (e.g.
Yen
et al
. 2005
) to
P. dejeani
/
lucia
species pair is no longer justified, hence we termed this species-group as
dejeani
species-group. 2) The female along with the genitalia of
P. dejeani
are illustrated for the first time and compared with those of
P. lucia
comb. n
.
Externally the female of
P. dejeani
differs from that of
P. lucia
by the more whitish ground color on both wings and the joint posterior ends of the antemedial and medial bands, while in the latter both wings are more yellowish and the antemedial and medial bands clearly separated posteriorly. In female genitalia,
P. dejeani
can be distinguished from
P. lucia
by the smaller antrum, somewhat narrower ostial plate and the signa covered by less prominent and more obtuse granulation (the signa are covered by sharper and more prominent spinules in
P. lucia
).
