This species has the following characters: in the forewing, the three white fasciae are straight and the antemedial fascia does not reach the costal margin; in the male genitalia, the gnathos is a hemicircular band, the costa of the valva is not straight and the juxta is rectangular. These characters are shared with P. kyuparki Kim & Lee, 2016 , but the latter can be distinguished by the right sacculus with a small triangular subapical process instead of a spiniform process. Redescription. Adult ( Figs 5, 6 , 9a ). Forewing length: males 5.3‒7.2 mm (n = 14) and females 5.4‒6.7 mm (n = 16). Head: vertex dark orange yellow white anteriorly; frons ocherous brown. Antennal scape white except laterally dark brown; flagellomere white basally alternated with dark brown apically. Labial palpus: second palpomere yellowish brown and yellowish white inner surface; third palpomere yellowish brown. Mesonotum and tegula dark orange yellow. Forewing dark orange yellow with three white fasciae edged with black scales; sub-basal fascia not reaching costal margin; antemedial fascia from 1/3 of posterior margin and oblique toward base; medial fascia and costal fascia linear; medial fascia from 1/2 of posterior margin and oblique toward apex; costal fascia from 2/3 of costal margin; fringe cilia orange yellow except grayish orange near tornus. Hindwing and fringe cilia gray. Hind femur and tibia pale gray; tarsus dark brown except white at the apical margin of each tarsomere. Wing venation ( Fig. 9b ). Forewing wide lanceolate, relatively broad; R 4 and R 5 stalked at 1/2; R 5 to costa; M 1 and M 2 parallel; M 2 approximate toward M 3 from anal angle of cell. Hindwing falcate: M 1 and M 2 slightly parallel; M 3 and CuA 1 stalked from anal angle of cell; 1A + 2A well developed; CuP and 3A weakly developed. Male genitalia ( Fig. 12 ). Uncus trilobed; middle lobe elongate, widened basally and apex obtuse; flanked by two lateral, small basal lobes. Gnathos belt-like, hemicircular. Valvae asymmetrical. Right valva with costa straight, gradually narrowing to a rounded apex; sacculus strongly incurved from base to subapical part; subapical part with a small, triangular process pointed inwardly; apical process spine-like, acutely upturned. Left valva with costal part narrowed basally, widening apically, extending to acutely-recurved apical process; sacculus strongly incurved, slightly narrowed subapically; apex acutely curved upwardly, larger than right apical process. Juxta rectangular, apex indented medially, about 2x length of uncus. Saccus small, triangular. Phallus broadly curved apically; vesica with single, long spiniform cornutus half length of phallus. Female genitalia ( Figs 15a, 15b ). Papilla analis narrowly-elongate, obtuse, with setae. Apophysis anterioris 2/5 length of apophysis posterioris. Ostium bursae protruded posteriorly. Lamella antevaginalis triangular, obtuse and overlaying elongated antrum. Antrum elongated, cylindrical, curved toward the right; dilated in anterior half. Ductus seminalis arising from posterior end of ductus bursae. Ductus bursae cylindrical; posterior half straight, dilated, well sclerotized and posterior end spinose; anterior half coiled, one lateral side sclerotized and narrow. Corpus bursae oval, signum absent. Distribution. Japan (Honshu, Kyushu), China ( Fujian , Hunan , Jiangsu , Zhejiang , Shanghai ). Remarks. All individuals examined in the present study were collected in lowlands or pine forests along the coast of Honshu and Kyushu, Japan .
