Amorbia
leafroller moths
Amorbia is a New World genus of tortricid moths containing approximately 29 species distributed from Brazil through Central America, the Caribbean, Mexico, and into the United States and Canada. Larvae of at least some species are known leafrollers that feed on host plants including blackberry (Rubus). The genus has been subject to systematic revision, with eight informal species groups proposed based on morphological characters. Several species are of economic concern as pests of Rubus crops in Mexico.
Amorbia synneurana
Amorbia synneurana is a synonym of Amorbia cuneana (Walsingham), commonly known as the western avocado leafroller moth. The name was proposed by Barnes & Busck in 1920 but was synonymized with A. cuneana in the 2007 revision of the genus Amorbia. No biological data specific to A. synneurana as a distinct entity exists; records under this name refer to A. cuneana.
Cenopis
Cenopis is a genus of tortrix moths in the family Tortricidae, subfamily Tortricinae, and tribe Sparganothini. The genus was established by Zeller in 1875 and contains multiple species distributed primarily in North America. These moths are small to medium-sized with characteristic tortricid wing posture at rest.
Cenopis diluticostana
Cenopis diluticostana is a species of tortrix moth in the family Tortricidae, described by Walsingham in 1879. It belongs to the tribe Sparganothini within the subfamily Tortricinae. Very little published information exists on its biology or ecology.
Niasoma metallicana
Niasoma metallicana is a small tortricid moth described by Walsingham in 1895. It occurs in the southeastern and mid-Atlantic United States, with records from seven states spanning from Massachusetts to Texas. The species has a wingspan of 14–21 mm. It was originally described under the genus Platynota before being transferred to Niasoma.
Platynota labiosana
Platynota labiosana is a species of tortricid moth in the family Tortricidae, first described by Zeller in 1875. It belongs to the genus Platynota, which includes several economically significant leafroller moths. The species is part of the Sparganothini tribe within the Tortricinae subfamily. Available information about this specific species is limited compared to better-known congeners such as Platynota stultana (omnivorous leafroller) and Platynota idaeusalis.
Platynota polingi
Platynota polingi is a species of tortricid moth described by Powell & Brown in 2012. It is known only from Arizona in the southwestern United States. The genus Platynota includes several economically significant leafroller species, though specific information about this particular species remains limited.
Sparganothis mcguinnessi
Sparganothis mcguinnessi is a tortricid moth species described in 2012 from New York State. It belongs to a genus containing several economically significant agricultural pests, including the cranberry fruitworm (Sparganothis sulfureana), though specific pest status for this species has not been documented. The species epithet honors Hugh McGuinness.
Sparganothis niteolinea
Sparganothis niteolinea is a species of tortricid moth described by Powell & Brown in 2012. The species is known from the southeastern United States, specifically Alabama, Florida, and North Carolina. As a member of the genus Sparganothis, it is related to several agricultural pest species, though specific ecological information for this particular species remains limited. The genus includes the cranberry fruitworm (Sparganothis sulfureana), a significant pest of cranberry and blueberry crops.
Sparganothoides lentiginosana
Lentiginos Moth
Sparganothoides lentiginosana, the lentiginos moth, is a small tortricid moth and the sole member of the Lentiginosana Group within its genus. It occurs across the southeastern and south-central United States south to Mexico. Adults are active nearly year-round with multiple generations per year. Sexual dimorphism in forewing length is documented.
