Crocidosema perplexana
Crocidosema perplexana is a species of tortricid moth in the family Tortricidae, subfamily Olethreutinae, and tribe Eucosmini. The species was described by Fernald in 1901. Like other members of the genus Crocidosema, it is likely associated with leguminous plants, though specific host records for this species appear limited in available literature. The genus includes several economically significant species, most notably the bean shoot moth (Crocidosema aporema), a major pest of soybean in South America.
