Introduction

A small, dark coloured species similar to P. froggatti Kirkaldy from which it can be reliably differentiated only by reference to certain structures of the male genitalia. It has been recorded in SE Queensland and from near Grafton in the NE corner of New South Wales on Acacia falcata Willd. (Fabaceae) but it is not known if this is a host plant.
