The new species is distinguished from its most similar congener, P. iopasalis (Walker, 1859), by the following features: wingspan 33.0–35.0 mm (vs. 21.0–30.0 mm), ventral cilia of the male antenna as long as the diameter of flagellomere (vs. 1/4), the thick finger-like gnathos (vs. the short broad sheet-like), a long thick needle-like cornutus stretching out from (vs. embedded in) a cluster of spicular cornuti near apex. Images of adult and genitalia of the new species are provided.
