Catastega plicata

Catastega plicata is a species of tortricid moth in the family Tortricidae, subfamily Olethreutinae, described by Brown in 1992. The species belongs to the genus Catastega, which is classified within the tribe Eucosmini. As a member of the large and diverse family Tortricidae, this species is part of a group commonly known as leafroller moths, though specific ecological details for C. plicata remain poorly documented. The genus name Catastega derives from Greek roots, while the specific epithet "plicata" refers to a folded or pleated characteristic, likely alluding to wing morphology.
