Adult ( Figs. 6, 7 ) with wingspan 31.5 – 37.5 mm . This species is very similar to P. ussurialis , but can be differentiated by the much slenderer fore wing in male, the curved sella apically exceeding ventral margin of the valva in the male genitalia ( Fig. 16 ), and the antrum with a pair of latero-medial processes in the female genitalia ( Fig. 23 ). In P. ussurialis , the sella does not reach ventral margin of the valva, and the antrum has no process. Distribution. China (Hebei, Shanxi, Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang), Japan , Russia (Amur, Chabarowsk). Ecology. Caught in mountain from 800 m to 1475 m . Flight period in July.
