Fig. 21

Description:

Male. In general features, as described for P. ciliata , except as follows: Body and legs: Entirely yellow, except hind tibia dark yellow (only one fore and one hind leg present in examined specimen).

Wing: 6.2–6.8 mm long, with hyaline costal cell; vein R 2+3 with short, simple stump vein distal to dm–cu level; vein R 4+5 setulose from base to at least middle of distance between dm–cu level and apex; stump vein with pale brown spot separated from pale brown spot around vein dm–cu; crossvein r–m pale brown spotted; wing apex with very pale brown shadow.

Male genitalia: As depicted for P. ciliata .

Material examined: KENYA: 1♂ (dissected) Ngong [1.3618°S 36.6566°E], x.1957, van Someren ( BMNH). DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO: “Congo-belge / Rutshuru [1.1842°S 29.4489°E] – 4-7-1937 / J. Ghesquière / 3583”, “ R. Mus. Hist. Nat. Belg. I.G. 10.482” ( RBINH) .

Remarks: The only available specimen has a paler wing pattern and body than the males identified in this work as P. ciliata ; it may be conspecific with that species or with P. terebrans , but cogent evidence for none of the two options is found.
