Diagnosis.
P. ochreipennis
(
Fig. 13
) is somewhat smaller than
P. flavomacula
, wingspan
18–21 mm
. Externally it differs from
P. flavomacula
by pale yellow ground colour (pale lilaceous grey in
P. flavomacula
), usually irrorated with ochreous brown, by shape of antemedial line, not edged outsides by whitish line as in
flavomacula
and postmedial line, which is excurved from costa to vein 6 (obliquely straight in
P. flavomacula
), angled there and thence evenly incurved, not edged outsides with whitish like in
P. flavomacula
. In male genitalia
P. ochreipennis
(
Fig. 24
) differs from
P. flavomacula
in having much massive and developed costal process of valva, shorter (2/3 length of valva) and more acute caudal extension of sacculus and differently shaped juxta, longer, thinner and not apically bifurcate (like in
P. flavomacula
) uncus. Structure of vesica is similar to
P. flavomacula
, but it bearing three diverticula; large cornuti are more massive that in
P. flavomacula
.
In female genitalia,
P. ochreipennis
(
Fig. 34
) differs from
P. flavomacula
by presence of antevaginal plate, wider and much shorter ductus bursa, presence of sclerotized patch in caudal part of bursae and by shape of bursae.
