CYDOSIA N'OBILITELLA. TTishcood, 
PLATE XXIT. Fig. 2.

This lovely insect belongs to the present family. 
from the majority of which, however, it offers a 
marked distincrion 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 wh^i at 
rest. The head, setaceous antennse, small palpi 
closely applied to the lower part of the face, elon- 
gated spiral tongue, and feet^ agree with the typical 
LithosiaB. 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 Tortricidae (such as Cmphasia 
lon^uvia, Curtis, pi. 100. f 9) ; but the terminal 
branches of the postcostal vein are similar to those 
of Lithosia quadra^ except that the third branch 
anteriorly emits two branchlets, whereas in Lithosia 
* In Lithosia oomplana there are odIt two terminal branches,
