Inoue, Inoue Coll., BM 1992 - 71, BMNH (E) # 1008378. Diagnosis. On wing pattern, the forewing antemedial and postmedial lines of P. boarmiata are traceable as in P. szetschwana, while, the wedge-shaped patch is like an arrow, smaller and narrower. Forewing discal spot is rounded and not as elongate as in P. szetschwana; antemedial line patch on the inner margin is almost unmodified in shape, at least in P. boarmiata boarmiata and P. boarmiata subcuneata. The male genitalia are close to those of P. conferta, P. moderata and P. fulvaria, while the distal part of the valva is more curved than in the other three species. P. boarmiata is one of four species (the others being P. falcipennis, P. bluethgeni and P. breviprotrusa) which lack short spines on the vesica, but the cornutus is much longer and more pointed than in P. bluethgeni and P. breviprotrusa, and the manica lacks the two small pointed processes present in P. falcipennis. The female genitalia share a very long and narrow antrum, ductus bursae, and rounded corpus bursae with P. cuneata, while the joint between antrum and ductus is not expanded suddenly as in P. cuneata. Distribution. China (Heilongjiang, Jilin), Japan, Russia (Amurland); newly recorded for China. Remarks. Three subspecies of P. boarmiata have been described: P. boarmiata boarmiata Graeser, 1892 is distributed in Russia (Amurland) and China (Heilongjiang and Jilin Provinces), P. boarmiata subcuneata Inoue, 1954 (Tinea 1 (2): 38, figs 1, 2) is distributed in Japan (Nagano Prefecture, Kamikôchi) and boarmiata masuii Inoue, 1982 (in Inoue et al., Moths of Japan: 562, pl. 103, fig. 11) is also found in Japan (Shikoku, Tokushima Prefecture, Mt Tsurugi). P. boarmiata subcuneata has much fainter wing decoration and longer and narrower valvae in the male genitalia than the nominate subspecies.
