Diagnosis
.
Cydia timara
can be separated from
C. marita
by the lighter orange apical area and poorly defined costal strigulae on the forewing. The setiform sex scales on 3A of the male hindwing are less numerous in
C. timara
than those in
C. marita
(
Figs. 9–12
). The two species differ in the number of cornuti on the vesica, with 19 or fewer in the medial area of the vesica of
C. timara
and 27 or more in
C. marita
. In addition, the lamella postvaginalis of the female is broader relative to length in
C. timara
than in
C. marita
, and the anterolateral corners of the plate are obtusely angled in
C. timara
and acutely angled in
C. marita
.
Description
.
Head
: As in
C. marita
.
Thorax
: As in
C. marita
, except forewing (
Fig. 5
) length
5.2–7.7 mm
; basal half of wing with only two indistinct transverse light gray striae near mid-wing, often confluent and forming broad band; apical third of costa brown, without white strigulae, scales in apical third of wing light orange between silvery Y-shaped lines and orange near apical margin, scales without grayish brown bases; distal row of scales at apical margin forming dark brown line, often not broken by white dash. Hindwing in male with 31 to 40 (2n) small, setiform scales bordering marginal fourth of 3A (
Fig. 9
), apex of sex scale with 8–10 longitudinal ridges (
Fig. 10
), marginal fourth of 3A thickened and grooved, but wing margin not conspicuously crimped near 3A.

Abdomen
: Male genitalia similar to those of
C. marita
, with phallus 0.65–0.69 length of valva, vesica with 17–19 cornuti medially and 3–4 cornuti apically. Three preparations examined. Female genitalia (
Fig. 8
) with lamella postvaginalis with latero-anterior angles blunt or obtusely angled, width at middle 0.75–0.78 length; corpus bursae posteriorly with small, quadrate diverticulum, distal corners of diverticulum slightly prolonged (diverticulum in mated female reduced to two small lobes by apparent stretching of expanded corpus bursae). Two preparations examined.
