N. Kuni (Slide:Nol.—7a (RJ)), coll. NZCZSI/ GPRC.</p> <p>Diagnosis. The new species collected recently in Sikkim is supposedly an allopatric sister species of P. gaofengensis Hu, Wang &amp; Han, 2014 (Fig. 3) described from Yunnan, China. Though the external differences between the two species are negligible but P. sikkima, sp. nov. differs significantly from its sister species in certain characters of the male genitalia as follows: the new species has in comparison with those characters of P. gaofengensis (Figs. 12,13) considerably shorter basal part of uncus, much narrower tegumen, significantly thinner harpe erected closer to the ventral margin of valva than in the related species, in addition, somewhat longer sacculus and wider vinculum. The most conspicuous difference between the two species is expressed by the configuration of fultura inferior (juxta): the new species has wider and shorter triangular plate of juxta with significantly longer, but basally much narrower pair of strongly dentate triangular crests projecting ventrally, erecting in the medio-lateral part of the plate of juxta, while those crests of P. gaofengensis are shorter, but running along the whole length of lateral margins of the juxta reaching from its proximal end to its apex. The aedeagus of P. sikkima is longer with somewhat shorter dentation of carinal plate in comparison with that of P. gaofengensis.</p> <p>Description. Length of forewing 8mm. Head snowy white, palpus labialis short, porrect, blackish; antennae filiform, with fine lateral fasciation, basal quarter snowy white, apical three-quarter greyish brown. Thorax pale grayish white; abdomen brown with grayish white striation along distal margin of segments. Forewing ground color porcelain white; subterminal area pale rusty brown with a whitish small quadrangular patch subapically; costal margin with large, blackish triangular basal and an even larger, medial patch both suffused with metallic-blue scales; subbasal, basal and antemedial lines deleted; medial line fine, blackish brown, present only in the costal third, forming the inner leg of the costal triangular patch; postmedial line fine with a short, broader section at costa, blackish brown, rather s-shaped; subterminal line wavy, interrupted, its costal section dilated, forming a blackish quadrangular patch; terminal line diffuse, rusty brown; cilia pale grey, chequered with dark brown. Hindwing uniformly greyish; veins slightly highlighted with darker scales; cilia long, pale grey.</p> <p>Male genitalia (Figs. 7–11). Uncus short and slim, apically pointed, slightly dilated basally then gradually tapered, connected to tegumen by a very short, medially laced stem; tegumen narrow, medium short; scaphium relatively long, straight, weakly sclerotized; fultura inferior (juxta) isosceles triangular, apically rounded, with a pair of parallel, heavily dentate, triangular, medio-lateral lobes directed ventrad, not reaching juxta apex; vinculum very thin, short, broad U-shaped; valva medium long, basal third strongly sclerotized, tapered ventrad, then suddenly dilated, apically broadly rounded, costal margin evenly arcuate, narrowly sclerotized, apical area densely setose; sacculus heavily sclerotized, rather elongate, tube-like, harpe short and narrow, gently curved medially, pointing ventrad, apically rounded, transtilla narrow, ribbon-like. Aedeagus tubular, medium long, slightly curved medially, caecum penis relatively short, broadly rounded, carina heavily sclerotized with short, but sharp dentation running along the dorsal margin of distal half of aedeagus; vesica without cornuti.</p> <p>Female unknown.</p> <p>Etymology. The name of the new species refers to the state of Sikkim from where the species is collected for the first time.</p> <p>Distribution. The species is known from its type locality (Rumtek, Sikkim) only.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1F1287CCFF99FFEAFF75FC3D4B038864	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

N. Kuni, (Slide: Nol.—5 (RJ) and 5a (RJ)), coll. NZCZSI/ GPRC.</p> <p>Diagnosis. Forewing length: 7mm. P. sukhothai is closely related to P. thai László, Ronkay &amp; Witt, 2006 both described from North Thailand. In the original description, the authors claim P. sukhothai having less sharply defined and finer crosslines and considerably paler outer third of forewings than those of P. thai. The newly collected fresh specimens from Sikkim however, display almost identical forewing pattern compared to that of P. thai. The reason of this discrepancy might be that the type specimens of P. sukhothai serving as basis of description of the taxon were rather worn, with their darker hair scales partly rubbed off. Having P. thai compared with the fresh specimens of P. sukhothai from Sikkim, the only significant external difference between the two species is expressed by the shape and colour of the medio-costal patch of forewing: that is rather quadrangular and filled by pale brown hair-scales in P. sukhothai, whereas it is elongate-trigonal filled by creamy white hair-scales in P. thai. P. sukhothai is undoubtedly characterized by its male genitalia by having a single, slightly curved harpe and simple quadrangular shield-like fultura inferior (juxta), whereas the harpe of P. thai is bifid with two well developed claw-like processes, in addition the fultura inferior (juxta) of P. thai is widely incised medio-dorsally with a conspicuous, acute ventromedial process.</p> <p>During the recent sampling carried out in Sikkim, female specimens of P. sukhothai have been collected for the first time. The external habitus of the female of P. sukhothai is similar to that of the males, displaying no significant sexual dimorphism, except in the configuration of antennae which are densely ciliate in males, while those of females are filiform with sparse, short ciliation.</p> <p>Description of the female genitalia (Fig. 18). Ovipositor short, papillae anales narrow, elongate, conical; apophyses posteriors medium-long. Eighth tergite very short; eight sternite relatively large, heavily sclerotized; apophyses anteriores very short, thorn-like. Ostium bursae broad, medium-long, infundibular, heavily sclerotized. Ductus bursae medium-long, membranous; cervix bursae broad, sack-like. Corpus bursae medium large, posteriorly tubular, anteriorly broad-ovoid; Signum bursae absent.</p> <p>The configuration of the female genitalia of P. sukhothai supports the species close relationship to P. thai with the following distinctive features: P. sukhothai has slightly longer apophyses posterior and anterior, considerably longer ductus bursae, more elongated tubular posterior part and somewhat smaller, less elongate anterior part of corpus bursae compared to those of P. thai, in addition P. sukhothai lacks Signum bursae, whereas the related species has a pair of finely scobinate elongate plates on corpus bursae.</p> <p>Distribution. India (Sikkim), Thailand.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1F1287CCFF9AFFEAFF75FD694DDE8DCA	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.

N. Kuni, Nol. —8 (Coll. NZCZSI/ GPRC, Patna; Slide: Nol.—8)</p> <p>Diagnosis. Forewing length: 6mm. P. langtangi described from Central Nepal is very similar externally to P. ayutthaya occurring in North Thailand, the two species are easily distinguishable by their surprisingly substantial differences in genitalia (László et al. 2010). In Sikkim, P. langtangi occurs sympatrically with P. sikkima sp. nov. and P. sukhothai, but is unmistakable for both of them according to its conspicuously different forewing pattern split into a clear whitish basal and dark-colored apical half of forewing compared to the more variegated and complex wing pattern of the latter species. The detailed diagnoses of male and female genitalia of the related species are provided in detail in their original descriptions (László et al. 2010, László et al. 2006).</p> <p>Distribution.
