24. Geuus Calliana. 



Calliana, Moore, P. Z. S. 1878, p. 686. Ty^Q, piet'idoides, Moore. 



[Anteunae wanting.] 



Palpi almost erect, second joint thickly scaled, third joint minute. 

 Fore wing : inner margin longer than onter mrsrgin ; no costal fold 

 in male; vein 12 reaching costa opposite end of cell; cell two- 

 thirds length of costa ; upper angle of cell rounded ; upper disco- 

 cellular short, outwardly oblique ; middle and lower discocelluiars 

 almost erect, the lower the longer ; vein 3 about twice as far from 



2 as from end of cell ; vein 2 slightly nearer to base of wing than to 



3 : veinlet in cell at just before vein 4. Hind wing evenly rounded ; 

 cell moderate, about half the length of costa ; vein 7 shortly before 

 end of cell, more than four times as far from base as from end of 

 cell ; middle discocellulars slightly outwardly oblique, lower slightly 

 inwardly oblique, the lower about half as long again as the middle 

 one ; vein 5 well developed, much nearer to 6 than to 4 ; vein 3 just 

 before end of cell ; vein 2 more than twice as far from base as from 

 end of cell. Hind tibifB with two pairs oi^ spurs, and also with a 

 tuft of hair longer than the tibia attached to it near its proximal 

 end. 



The sole species of this genus h pieridoides, Moore, which is not 

 in the British Museum. The above diagnosis is from the type 

 specimen kindly lent me for that purpose by Mr. Moore. 



Confined to the Oriental region. 



25. Geuus Pisola. 



Pisola, Moore, P. Z. S. 1865, p. 785. I'ype, zennara, Moore. 



Antenufe and palpi much as in Capila. Fore wing: inner margin 



considerabh^ longer than outer margin ; neuration as in Calliana, 



from which it differs only in having no tuft on the hind tibiae in 



the male.

Type, zarex, Hiibn. 



Antennic: club moderate, bent into a hook, the terminal portion 

 equal to remainder of club. Palpi porrect, second joint densely 

 scaled, third joint small. Fore wing : outer margin longer than 

 inner margin ; no costal fold in male ; cell long, more than two- 

 thirds length of fore wing; vein 12 reaching costa before end of 

 cell ; upper discocellular minute, middle discocellular inwardly 

 oblique, lower more erect ; vein o nearer to 4 than to 6 ; vein 3 

 more than four times as far from base of wing as from end of cell ; 

 vein 2 twice as far from end of cell as from base of wing. Hind 

 wing much produced in sidimcdian area, but with no distinct lobe
