Thiodia citrana, the lemon bell, is a species of moth of the Tortricidae family. It is found in China (Hebei, Xinjiang), Japan, Iran, Asia Minor, Turkmenistan, Russia, Kazakhstan, North Africa and Europe.[2] The habitat consists of rough grasslands and dry pastures.

The wingspan is 16-21 mm. Adults are on wing from June to September in western Europe.[3]

The larvae feed on Achillea millefolium, Artemisia campestris, Artemisia vulgaris, Tanacetum vulgare and Anthemis cotula. They feed on the flowerheads of their host plant from within a spinning (a shelter like the web of a spider).[4]
