), confirmed by the presence of immatures.
Comments.
The comparison of
paratypes
of
P. truncaticephala
with specimens of
C. satsumensis
from
Japan
shows that they are conspecific, sharing the brown cloudy pattern in the apical half of the forewing and the host plant
Rhaphiolepis indica
(L.) Lindl. (
Rosaceae
), not
Camellia japonica
as suggested by Kwon (1983). For this reason, we synonymise the two taxa here.
