(Plate 2, a;
Fig. 13
).
Material examined
.
Pakistan

.
Remarks
. Described from the
holotype
and allotype from:
Pakistan
, Punjab, Lyallpur [=Faisalabad], at light,
10.x.29
, K.A.S. Rahman (ZSI). The above material is identified as
pruthii
from the original figures and those of
Dash & Viraktamath (2001)
. However, although all have the characteristic reticulate forewing venation, the
Pakistan
material has a slightly more strongly curved aedeagus and shorter apical process compared to Indian material (compare
Fig. 13
l with Dash & Virtaktamath, 1998, fig. 154).

Material examined
.
Pakistan
: several specimens (3, Ƥ), Sindh Prov., Tando Jam,
28.viii.07
, paddy (typical), Guddu Barrage,

(atypical).
Remarks
. A sub-brachypterous form occurs in the female of this species in
Pakistan
(Plate 2c). In addition, a form with a slightly more elongate aedeagus with a slight lateral flange is present (compare
Figs 12
a-d). The
type
of this species and various other specimens from throughout its range were examined by
Webb & Viraktamath (2009)
.
