Comments.
Ptilona conformis
was described from southern
China
by
Zia (1965)
. It was removed from synonymy of
P. persimilis
Hendel
and recorded from
China
,
Thailand
,
Laos
, West
Malaysia
and
Brunei
by
Hancock (2011)
. The present found is the first record of this species from, Meghalaya,
India
.
P. confinis
(Walker)
with widespread distribution in
India
is the only other species of
Ptilona
recorded from this country.
Ptilona conformis
resembles
P. d ol o ro s a
Hering (
Hancock, 2011
), but differs from it and all related species in having the hyaline indentation at base of stigma confined to cell r1 or only very narrowly crossing vein R2+3 (
Hancock, 2011
;
Hancock, 2012
), not extending almost or entirely across cell r2+3. In addition,
P. do l o ro s a
has the hyaline spot in cell m more evenly rounded.
