DIAGNOSIS. Tegmina yellow-brown with white patch only along sutural margin on nodal line of cross-veins; marked with numerous small black-brown spots on disc and membrane, some spots on veins are v-shaped; 2-3 bigger black spots on disc between veins Sc and R1-R2; disc of hind wing reddish with 11 black spots in 3 rows and 4 white spots on apicocostal half of disc; abdominal tergites red, sometimes black mediobasally.

The species is close to P. ( Ereosoma) atomaria and P. ( Ereosoma) pulchella from which it can be separated based on the following characters of the male genitalia:

(1) posterior margin of gonostyli slightly truncate in lateral view ( Fig. 3 I View Fig ) [rounded in P. ( Ereosoma) atomaria and P. ( Ereosoma) pulchella ( Fig. 3 A, E View Fig )];

(2) lateral margin of anal tube curved in lateral view ( Fig. 3 I View Fig ) [angularly curved in P. ( Ereosoma) atomaria ( Fig. 3 A View Fig ) and slightly curved in P. ( Ereosoma) pulchella ( Fig. 3 E View Fig ); (3) anal tube in dorsal view strongly narrowing at proximal 1/3, then with margins parallel to apex ( Fig. 3 K View Fig ) [progressively narrowing from proximal 1/ 3 in P. ( Ereosoma) atomaria ( Fig. 3 C View Fig ) or from base in P. ( Ereosoma) pulchella ( Fig. 3 G View Fig )];

(4) gonostyli shorter and broader in posteroventral view ( Fig. 3L View Fig ) than in P. ( Ereosoma) atomaria ( Fig. 3 D View Fig ) and P. ( Ereosoma) pulchella ( Fig. 3 H View Fig ).
