Genus Princisola Gurney & Roth, 1976

Type species: Audreia pulchra Shelford, 1910 . By monotypy.

Note. The genus Princisola was established for the single species Audreia pulchra Shelford, 1910 from South India—"Nilghiris, Coonoor" ( Shelford 1910, p. 11). I have been unable to re-examine any representative of Princisola . Based on the available descriptions ( Shelford 1910; Gurney & Roth 1976), P. pulchra is somewhat similar to the representatives of Calolamprodes in its general appearance and the structures of the male genitalia, especially in the shape of right phallomere ( Gurney & Roth 1976, their Fig. 6 ). Thus, it can be suspected that the genus Princisola may be closely related to the genus Calolamprodes . Unfortunately, the available descriptions are insufficient to decide on the latter assumption and additional studies are needed to elucidate the phylogenetic position of Princisola .
