Type material examined. Holotype : ♂, Vietnam (N), Mts Fan-si-pan, N-side, Chapa ( 22º17’N , 103º44’E , 1600 m , 20–30.XI.1995 ), leg . Sinjaev & loc. (MWM) . Paratypes : 6 ♂ listed by Solovyev & Witt (2009) . Other material examined. India : 1 ♂, Arunachal Pradesh , Upper Siang , 02.iv.2017 , leg. B. Saikia & Party (NZCZSI, 7020/ H10) . Diagnosis. Morphologically, P. julikatis and P. shirakii Kawada, 1930 look very similar and can be confused with each other. However, the former is recognizable by the broader marginal brown border of the forewing which also shows a stronger invagination in its lower third. In male genitalia, the uncus is robust, broader at base with distal region shorter, the valva is simple and aedeagus is strongly curved at basal half. Moreover, P. shirakii is so far known only from Taiwan . Distribution. Vietnam , China ( Shaanxi , Sichuan , Guangdong , Guangxi , Hubei , Hunan , Jiangxi , Hainan ), northern Thailand ( Solovyev 2014 ) and India ( Arunachal Pradesh ). This is the first record from India .
