Pseudexentera faracana
American Chestnut Leafroller
Pseudexentera faracana is a tortricid moth commonly known as the American Chestnut Leafroller. The species is native to eastern North America and has been documented in the northeastern United States, particularly Vermont. As its common name suggests, it has been associated with American chestnut (Castanea dentata), though detailed ecological relationships remain poorly documented. The species was first described by Kearfott in 1907 under the basionym Proteopteryx faracana.
