Olethreutes comandranum

(Clarke, 1953)

A small tortricid described by Clarke in 1953. Belongs to the diverse Olethreutes, which contains numerous small leafroller moths. The species epithet 'comandranum' suggests an association with Comandra plants (bastard toadflaxes), indicating a likely plant relationship. Like other Olethreutes species, it is presumed to be a microlepidopteran with typical tortricid including bell-shaped wings at rest.
