The name of the new species is formed from that of the previous species, P. grewiella, with the addition of the Greek prefix pseudo - which means false, to remind that both species can be found on the same hostplant, Grewia flavescens. Diagnosis. Wing pattern is similar to the melanosparta group because of the presence of dark markings on the forewings, without any white traces. This similarity makes it challenging to distinguish this species from the melanosparta group (see figs 23, 30). However, this pattern clearly sets it apart from P. grewiella, which is an oligophagous species that feeds on Grewia sp. and also Grewia flavescens. P. grewiella has white strigulae on its wings (see Fig. 22). Furthermore, the female genitalia of this species are also characteristic of the melanosparta group. However, they exhibit distinct features that allow for accurate identification as described below:
