Unstable periodic orbits scar wave functions in chaotic systems. The local short term dynamics also influences the associated spectra that follow the otherwise universal Porter-Thomas intensity distribution. We show here how this deviation extends to other longer periodic orbits sharing some common dynamical characteristics. This indicates that the quantum mechanics of the system can be described quite simply with few orbits, up to the resolution associated with the corresponding lengths.
