" [hand writing], " Type Matsumura" [red label], genitalia on slide no. 1315, mounted by Y. ARITA 1986. Biology. The larvae host plant is unknown. Distribution. Known only from the type locality in Taiwan . This species was known only from the unique female type , and its genitalia was examined by Arita (1986), who concluded that S. mushana and P . formosicola are similar to each other in terms of external morphology and female genitalia. The sole distinction is that a white marking is present on antennae of S. mushana , whereas it is absent on antennae of P. formosicola . Whether S. mushana is conspecific to P. formosicola remains an unsolved question and awaits for further clarification.
