CYDOSIA NOBILITELLA, Westwood, 
PLATE XXIV. Fig. 2. 
Phalaena nobilitella, Cramer, Pap. Exot., Plate 264. 
This lovely insect belongs to the present family, 
from the majority of which, however, it offers a 
marked distinction in the splendour of its colours, 
whilst the arrangement of the veins of the wings 
appears to differ from all the rest. It seems doubt- 
ful also whether the wings are convoluted when at 
rest. The head, setaceous antennae, small palpi 
closely applied to the lower part of the face, elon- 
gated spiral tongue, and feet, agree with the typical 
Lithosias. The medial vein of the fore wings has 
the terminal branches all arising close together at 
the extremity and at a great distance from the first 
branch, and there are three * terminal branches as 
in many of the Tortricidse (such as Cnephasia 
longiana, Curtis, pi. 100, f. 9); but the terminal 
branches of tho postcostal vein are similar to those 
of Lithosia quadra, except that the third branch 
anteriorly emits two branchlets, whereas in Lithosia 
In Lithosia complana there are only two terminal branches.
