While this moth has a faint line near the fore wing margin with a distinct break in it suggesting P. diemeni this specimen was significantly larger in size ( greater than 5cm wingspan/) than the Pantydia spp.I am used to seeing. It was also quite plain looking but suffused with a dstinctibe purple blush colouration
