Diagnosis: Wing expanse: Male: 38–40 mm. This species closely resembles P. humilis but can be distinguished by relatively less elongated forewing and the pale olive-green forewing ground colour with paler costal border. Fresh specimens are with more prominent olive-green suffusion. However, P. costalis can be distinctly told apart from humilis by having an indistinct postmedial line just before the marginal dark suffusion of hindwing.
Male genitalia: Uncus narrow, hook shaped; valva spindle shaped with typical harpe-digitus complex which is characterized by a slender, distally bent harpe and a triangular digitus from the middle of valva extended beyond the saccular margin; aedeagus vesica moderately scobinate with a patch of minute cornuti.
Distribution: India: Uttarakhand, Sikkim, West Bengal, Arunachal Pradesh ( Moore 1882; Kirti et al. 2014).
Global: Nepal, China ( Leech 1900; Yoshimoto 1992).
Bionomics: Distributed from Western to Eastern Himalaya, preferably within a wide altitudinal range of 1500–3000 m with annual mean temperature of 9–16 ºC and annual precipitation of 1100– 2600 mm. Individuals were active all through the year mainly in Wet Temperate Forest and rarely up to sub-alpine zone in Eastern Himalaya, with population blooms detected in May and October.
