The 1st longitudinal vein ends at three-fourths of the wing ; the 2nd vein forks at or immediately beyond one-third, opposite or barely beyond the fork of the 4th vein ; the anterior brauch of the 2nd vein forking at one-fourth of its length.

This species and P. malaliaricus are differentiated somewhat easily from all the others by the 2nd longitudinal vein forking at approximately one-third the length of the wing.
