Diagnosis.
Aedeagal median rod subbasally with 1 slender, triangular, lobe-like process (
Fig. 9C
), sometimes asymmetrical or bifurcated apically (as fig. 2A, B in
Okada 1977
).
Remarks.
We considered
P
.
takadai
Okada, 1977
as a synonym of
P
.
conifera
, because the lobe-like process of aedeagal median rod usually has some variations among the
variegata
complex species, such as
P
.
chi
(
Toda & Sidorenko, 1996
)
,
P
.
eugamma
(
Toda & Peng, 1990
)
,
P
.
huazhii
Cheng & Chen, 2008
, and
P
.
lambda
(
Toda & Peng, 1990
)
. Compared with
P
.
conifera
, there is no sufficient morphological evidence in supporting
P
.
takadai
as a different species.
