Hiibner proposed the genus Cydia for the three species — 

 pomonella, L. (=pomonana, Hb.),. aspidiscana, Hb., and hohen- 

 wartiana (Schiff.), Tr. (=monetulana, Hb.). Treitschke (Schm. 

 Eur. VII. 231 [1829]) placed pomonella in his genus Carpocapsa, 

 and (I. c. 232) aspidiscana and holiemvartiana in Grapholitha, Tr. 

 One of these two genera must fall as a svnonvm of Cydia. ? a 

 Stephens (111. Br. Ent,, Haust, IV. 119 [1834])', writing under the 

 heading Carpocapsa, said : — " The three first species " (i. e. pomo- 

 nella, splendana, and grossana) " form the true Carpocapsa? of 

 Treitschke — Cydia of Hiibner." The only species common to 

 Hiibner and Stephens, and which consequently was regarded as 

 Hiibner's type, is pomonella, L. Stephens \l. c. 119-20 (1834), 

 418 (1835)] under Cydia includes both pomonella and aspidiscana; 

 but he had already indicated that he did not regard aspidiscana as 

 the type, and in List Br. An. B.M. X. Lp. 54 (1852), pomonella 

 appears as the sole type of Cydia, the subsequent reference of 

 aspidiscana to Cydia (I. c. 93) is ruled out, pomonella having 

 already been constituted the type. 



182. Cydia ? flavicollis, sp. n. 



Antennas stone-grey. Palpi projecting slightly beyond the head, 

 of uniform thickness throughout, the second joint not brush-like ; 

 canarv-yellow. Head and face canary-yellow. Thorax stone-grey, 

 anteriorly with a lilac iridescence extending over the teguke. 

 Fore wings stone-grey, with a slight lilac tinge along the costa 

 nearly to its middle, beyond the middle obliquely banded with 

 tawny fuscous and white, the latter appearing in about six wedge- 

 shaped streaks of which the outer one is curved to the termen, 

 reaching a slight indentation below the apex ; an elongate tawny 

 fuscous patch stands erect a little beyond the middle of the dorsum, 

 its inner edge pale-margined ; it is terminated at its upper 

 extremity by two short, ochreous lines, which separate it at the 

 upper edge of the cell from the first oblique costal shade ; beyond 

 this erect patch the lower two-thirds of the wing-surface are 

 transversely streaked with silvery metallic, preceding a triangular 

 patch of reddish ferruginous, extending upwards from the torn us 

 along the termen, and slightly tinging the extreme apex ; cilia 

 shining silvery-grey. Underside strongly iridescent, with live 

 white costal streaks showing through. Exp. al. 15 mm. Hind 

 wings brownish fuscous ; cilia pale bluish grey. Underside strongly 

 iridescent. Abdomen dark leaden grey. Legs bone-whitish, tarsal 

 joints banded with fuscous.
