Shoud be correct as P. flavia.


Three species are similar in the following features.
FW subapical spots 6 & 7 are aligned nearly parallel to the termen (outer margin).
A line thru them ends on the lower margin (dorsum).
HW veins are shaded yellow/orange on both sides.
In P. flaviaq the opalescent streak in space 5 is absent or obscure.
In the other two species it is prominent.

P. flavia.
UnF without opalescent streak in space 5 or weakly.

UnF have a prominent opalescent streak in space 5.
P. helena is stated to have a small hyaline spot in space 5 while P. natuna does not.
