Calodia kodikanelensis Nielson 1991: 467, Figs. 82−86.

Male & Female. Head ochraceous. Eyes and ocelli black. Face yellow in female (Fig. 7 D), in male frontoclypeus, parts of clypellus and lora, dark brown to black (Fig. 7 C). Pronotum and mesonotum black, the latter with posterior margin pale. Forewing deep piceous throughout with narrow hyaline band along costal margin. Metasternites black. Hind femur with apices and tarsi black, setae on hind tarsi pale yellow (Figs. 1 C–D, 4 C–D). Female seventh sternite posterior margin convex medially (Fig. 10 C).

Male genitalia. Pygofer in lateral view with long, narrow caudoventral process exceeding posterodorsal extension and crossing over its counterpart mesally, small lobe on caudodorsal margin (Fig. 17 H). Subgenital plate long, narrow, with inner margin serrate in apical 1/5 (Fig. 17 E). Style about as wide anteriorly as at midlength, apophysis short with prominent marginal setae (Fig. 17 F). Connective longer than wide at base (Fig. 17 G). Aedeagus narrowed in distal ½ and slightly curved dorsad in distal 1/3, with two nearly equal glabrous processes, processes separated by a distance nearly ½ length of proximal process, gonopore arising distad of base of proximal process (Fig. 17 A–D).

Female genitalia. Valvula I in lateral view with dorsal sculptured area and ventral sculptured area restricted to apical 1/5 (Fig. 11 I–J). Valvula II in lateral view sinuate, dentate in apical 1/3, each tooth widely separated, triangulate (Fig. 11 K–L).

Measurements. Male 7.1−7.3 mm long, 1.8 mm wide across eyes and 2.0 mm wide across posterolateral angles of pronotum. Female 9.1 mm long, 2.1 mm wide across eyes and 2.7 mm wide across posterolateral angles of pronotum.

Material examined. INDIA: Karnataka: 1♀, Makuta, iv. 2005, Vateria indica canopy, Y.B. Srinivasa ; Tamil Nadu: Palni Hills: 1♂, Kukkal Shola, 10°14′53.2′′ N, 77°23′58′′ E, 1971 m, 24.v.2012, Prathapan K.D .; 1♂, 2♀, Shembaganur, 10°14′558.5′′ N, 77°31′13.9′′ E, 1695 m, 22.v.2012, Prathapan K.D. (NPC, UASB) .

Remarks. Nielson (1991) described and illustrated the species based on male and female specimens collected from Kodaikanal (India). It has superficial resemblance to the male genitalia of C. ostenta and C. paraostenta but differs in having long pygofer process (Fig. 17 H) and relative position of the glabrous process on the aedeagal shaft (Figs. 17 A–B), also by the subgenital plate being longer and narrower with serrate subapical margin (Fig. 17 E).
