" / " Paratypus ", Slide 12127GB Behounek (Coll. NKMB); Paralectotype: female, "3/8 [18]77, Chabarowka, Amur" / "Amur Hed." / "Origin" / " Paratypus ", Slide 12153GB Behounek (Coll. NKMB). Other material examined. 1 male, 1 female, [Russian Far East, Khabarovsk area], Amur, Coll. Great Prince Nikolaj Mikhajlovich (Coll.

In the male genitalia P. brevilinea impudica ( Fig. 45, 46 ) differs from P. brevilinea brevilinea ( Fig. 45 ) by shorter uncus and penicular lobes, somewhat broader cucullus, somewhat narrower and more sclerotised vesica. The female genitalia ( Fig. 52 ) differ from those of P. brevilinea brevilinea ( Fig. 51 ) by longer apophyses posteriores, broader sclerotised margin of antrum, broader but shorter ductus bursae and broader appendix bursae.
