features

The species of the genus Nola occurring in Europe are on average smaller than the European representatives of the genus Meganola . The wing veins R 2 and R 3 are missing on the forewings , these are present in Meganola . The veining of the hind wings is trifid ( Latin , “three columns”, “three-part”; denotes a special branching pattern of the veins on the hind wing, in which the distal cubital vein divides into three branches: M 3 , CuA 1 and CuA 2 ), while it is often quadrifid in Meganola (division of the cubital vein into four branches: M 2 , M 3 , CuA 1 and CuA 2 ). The antennae of the males are double combed and have significantly shorter lamellae than in the species of the genus Meganola . The antennae of the females are thread-shaped. The labial palps are relatively short, long and elongated and more or less directed downwards. The head, thorax and forewings are mostly white, in a few species they are gray and mostly brownish in color. A middle shadow is rarely present. Drawing marks are difficult to see, mostly only a small whitish point or spot is indicated. The area between the kidney spot and the outer transverse line is often light gray. The fringed scales are dark gray in most species. The transverse lines are black and often indistinct. The hind wings are gray and darker towards the black border. The discal stain is indistinct. The undersides of both wings are monochrome, dark brownish gray, the undersides of the hind wings have a discal stain.

The uncus is absent in the males ; the pseudouncus is usually missing as well. The saccus is rounded or slightly pointed. It can be narrow or wide. The cucullus of the Valven is bilobed. The juxta is diamond-shaped, plate-like and extended laterally by two arms. The cecum of the aedeagus is narrower than the rest of the aedeagus.

In females, the ovipositor is short and very broad. The anterior apophyses are very broad, triangular and drawn out to a point at the base. The ostium bursae is very broad and heavily sclerotized . The antrum is very short and membranous. In the corpus bursae , either the anterior or the posterior part or both parts can be band-shaped sclerotized. The corpus bursae is membranous and has two signs.

distribution

The representatives of the genus Nola are distributed worldwide. The majority of the species is native to tropical forests.

biology

The caterpillars develop on a wide range of herbaceous plants, but can also be found on trees. They often feed on flowers.
