Cochylini

Guenée, 1845

Cochylini is a tribe of tortrix () containing approximately 1,000 described in about 80 . Formerly classified as the Cochylinae, molecular research by Regier et al. (2012) suggests it may represent a lineage within Euliini, warranting subtribe rank as Cochylina. The tribe has a global distribution with highest diversity in the Holarctic and .

Taxonomic Status

Research by Regier et al. (2012) provided evidence that Cochylini represents a lineage within a broader Euliini. If accepted, Cochylini would be treated as subtribe Cochylina of Euliini rather than a distinct tribe.
