<p>The Palaearctic genus <em>Noeeta</em> belongs to the tribe <strong>Noeetini</strong> Norrbom & Korneyev 1999; larvae of all members of the tribe, as far as known, feed in the flower heads of either Lactuca or HIeracium spp. and are widespread in the Holarctics. Noeeta includes 7 nominal species occurring in the Palaearctic Region. Validity of some of them is doubtful. The most common <em>Noeeta pupillata</em> (Fallén 1814) is widespread throughout the Palaearctic Region and is reported to be associated with many species of <em>Hieracium</em>; status of populations associated with various hosts needs detailed study.</p>
<p>However, even the species usually considered valid and included in the keys (Richter 1970: Keys to Insects of the European Territory of the USSR) have not been properly illustrated. This series of photographs is to be fill this gap.</p>
<p>Noeeta bisetosa is known by far from a few localities throughout Europe. This species can be recognized from the pair of additional presutural setae on mesonotum (shown by the yellow arrows).</p>
<p>Host: <em>Hieracium piloselloides </em>(Merz, 1992).</p>
<p>It is believed that publication of these photographs will promote further findings of this rare species.</p>
