Schmidt, Olga, 2015, One century after: a reappraisal of the gnathos (sensu Pierce, 1914) in Larentiinae (Lepidoptera: Geometridae), Zootaxa 3974 (3), pp. 328-340 : 331

Tribe Cidariini

Cidaria fulvata ( Fig. 5 ). The gnathos arms are very thin, only slightly pronounced, and partly fused with the tegumen. The base of the anal tube with its inconspicuous subscaphium is connected to the gnathos and membrane of the fultura superior (which is ventrad of the anal tube).

Colostygia pectinataria ( Fig. 6 ). The gnathos arms are thin, inconspicuous, and partly fused with the tegumen, whereby the uncus is almost completely reduced. The base of the anal tube with its long, distinct, slightly narrowed medially subscaphium is connected to the gnathos and membrane of the fultura superior (which is ventrad of the anal tube).
