P. moderata resembles P. similaria in having smaller antemedial and postmedial black patches: these patches are elongate in P. moderata, but appear as small dots in P. similaria. The male genitalia are similar to those of P. boarmiata, P. conferta and P. fulvaria. They can be distinguished by the following features: the uncus of P. m o d e r a t a is narrower than that of P. conferta; the distal part of the valva is less up-curved than in P. boarmiata, and the gnathos is narrower than that of P. fulvaria; the aedeagus shares one bundle of spines on the vesica with P. conferta, P. crypta and P. fulvaria, but the spines are longer than in P. conferta. The female genitalia are close to those of P. similaria and P. conferta, but the ductus bursae is narrower than in P. conferta, and the antrum is longer than in P. s i m i l a r i a. Distribution. China (Tibet), Nepal; newly recorded here for China.
