GENUS XII. PISOLA. 



Pisola, Moore, P. Z. S., 1865, p. 735. 



" Palpi large, erect, projecting beyond the head, densely pilose ; 

 third joint minute, conical. Antennae rather long, curved backward at 

 the apex. Body very stout ; abdomen extending to within one-third of 

 the length of hindwing. Legs moderately slender ; femora pilose beneath : 

 mid tibiae armed with a pair and hind tibiae with two pairs of slender 

 apical spurs. Wings large, broad ; costa of forewing slightly arched : 

 exterior margin oblique ; posterior margin straight. Hindwing convex 

 at the base of anterior margin ; apex, exterior margin, and anal angle 

 convex. Subcostal vein of forewing six branched ; second and third 

 arising at equal distances from the first ; fourth to sixth contiguous 

 at their base to the third." (Moore, I. c.) 



Mr. de Niceville informs me that the subcostal vein in this genus 

 has only four and not six branches.

" Male and female. Upperside brown ; forewing with a broad yellowish-

Mr. Elwes records this species as occurring rarely in Sikkim from April 

 to August in the low valleys, and also states that the antennae of the female 

 both in this species and in C. jayadeva are much less hooked at the tip than 

 those in the male.

Pithauria, Moore, P. Z. S., 1878, p. 689.
