Hiibner proposed the genus C'ljdia for the three species — 

 pomonella, L. (=2^omonana, Hb.), aspidiscana, Hb., and liohen- 

 luartiana (Scliiff.), Tr. {=monetnlana, Hb.). Treitschke (Schm. 

 Eur. VII. 231 [1829]) t^XhwA pomonella in his genus C'«»;pocajjsa, 

 and (l. c. 232) aspidiscana and liolmiwavtlana in Grapholitha, Tr. 

 One . of these two genera must fail as a synonym of Ciidia. 

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

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

 nella, splendana, and (jrossana) " form the true Carpocajiso' of 

 Treitschke — C'ydia 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 C'ydia 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 {lSb2), pomonella 

 appears as the sole type of C'ydia, the subsequent reference of 

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

 already been constituted the type.

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

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

 canary -yellow. Mead and face canary-yellow. Thorax stone-grey, 

 anteriorly with a lilac iridescence extending over the tegulte. 

 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 Hues, 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 tornus 

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

 shining silvery-grey. Underside strongly iridescent, with five 

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