Material examined. Holotype ♂, ( Muséum d’Histoire Naturelle de Paris - MNHN), Iran, Mazandaran, environs de Dalasm, 1400 m, 13.VII.1999, J.-F. Charmeux leg. ; Paratypes ( MNHN): 1 ♀ , same data as holotype (designed as Allotype by J.-F. Charmeux) ; 5 ♂♂, same locality as holotype, 6.VII.1999, J.-F. Charmeux leg. & coll ., 3 ♂♂, same locality as holotype; 13.VIL.1999, J.-F. Charmeux leg. & coll .

Additional material. 2 ♂♂, and 1 ♀, ( Research Collection of Alireza Naderi) Iran, Mazandaran, S. Chalus, Dalasm village , 20.VII.2020, Alireza Naderi leg.

Diagnosis. Wing markings more pronounced than P. valiabadi ; spot in cell 6 on the underside of the hindwing slightly shifted; white disco-cellular streak on the underside of the hindwings absent. While the male genitalia in P. valiabadi and P. asadii are very similar, we note subtle differences in the shape of the uncus, the tegumen, and the ratio of maximum length to maximum width of the valvae ( Fig. 4).
