Cochylichroa
Cochylichroa is a genus of tortricid moths in the family Tortricidae. The genus was redefined in 2019 to include nine species based on phylogenetic analysis; most were previously classified under the genus Conchylis. It contains several notable species including the banded sunflower moth (C. hospes) and Arthur's sunflower moth (C. arthuri).
Cochylichroa aurorana
Pink-mottled Cochylichroa Moth
Cochylichroa aurorana is a small tortricid moth native to the eastern and central United States. First described by Kearfott in 1907 as Phalonia aurorana, it was long classified under Cochylis before molecular phylogenetic studies led to its transfer to the redefined genus Cochylichroa in 2019. Adults are active in late summer and early autumn.
Cochylichroa hoffmanana
Hoffman's Cochylid Moth, Hoffman's cochlid moth
Cochylichroa hoffmanana, known as Hoffman's Cochylid Moth, is a small tortricid moth with a wingspan of 11–12 mm. It was described by William D. Kearfott in 1907 and transferred from the genus Cochylis to the redefined genus Cochylichroa in 2019 based on phylogenetic analysis. The species has a transatlantic distribution, occurring in France and across much of eastern and central North America.
Corticivora
Corticivora is a genus of tortricid moths established by Clarke in 1951. The genus contains four described species: C. chica, C. clarki, C. parva, and C. piniana. Members belong to the tribe Grapholitini within the subfamily Olethreutinae. Observations suggest activity in forested regions of North America, with records from the United States, Sweden, and Norway.
Cydia
Cydia is a large genus of tortrix moths in the family Tortricidae, subfamily Olethreutinae, and tribe Grapholitini. The genus includes numerous economically significant agricultural pests, most notably the codling moth (C. pomonella), a global pest of apple and pear orchards, and the plum fruit moth (C. funebrana). Species in this genus are characterized by their fruit-feeding larval habits, with many mining into or boring through fruits of cultivated trees. The genus name was adopted for the iOS software platform Cydia, referencing the codling moth's association with apples.
Cydia bracteatana
Cydia bracteatana is a tortricid moth species described by Fernald in 1881. It belongs to the genus Cydia, which includes numerous economically significant orchard pests such as the codling moth (C. pomonella) and the filbertworm (C. latiferreana). Like other members of this genus, C. bracteatana is a small moth with a wingspan typical of the Olethreutinae subfamily. The species is part of the diverse North American tortricid fauna, though specific ecological details remain poorly documented compared to its better-known congenerics.

The genus Paralobesia includes several species associated with plants, notably P. viteana (grape berry moth), a significant agricultural pest. Specific biological details for P. aemulana remain poorly documented in available literature.
Paralobesia liriodendrana
tulip-tree leaftier moth
Paralobesia liriodendrana, the tulip-tree leaftier moth, is a tortricid moth species described by Kearfott in 1904. The species is associated with tulip trees (Liriodendron), as indicated by its specific epithet. It belongs to the Olethreutinae subfamily within the diverse Tortricidae family, which includes many economically significant agricultural pests.
Pelochrista
Pelochrista Moths
Pelochrista is a Holarctic genus of tortricid moths in the subfamily Olethreutinae. The genus contains numerous species distributed across the Palearctic and Nearctic regions. Members are small to medium-sized moths with typical tortricid wing posture at rest. The genus is taxonomically well-established with records from Europe, North America, and Asia.
Pelochrista agassizii
Pelochrista agassizii is a tortricid moth species described by Robinson in 1869. It belongs to the Olethreutinae subfamily within the leafroller moth family Tortricidae. As with many species in this large and diverse genus, detailed biological and ecological information remains limited in published literature.
Pelochrista argenteana
Pelochrista argenteana is a tortricid moth in the subfamily Olethreutinae, first described by Walsingham in 1895. The species belongs to a large genus of small moths commonly known as shoot borers or fruitworms. It has been documented in western Canadian provinces including Alberta and Saskatchewan. Like other members of the genus, it is presumed to have larvae that feed internally in plant tissues, though specific host associations for this species remain unverified.
Pelochrista argentifurcatana
Pelochrista argentifurcatana is a species of tortricid moth in the family Tortricidae, first described by Grote in 1876. It belongs to the large genus Pelochrista, which contains numerous small moth species. The species is part of the subfamily Olethreutinae and tribe Eucosmini. Limited observational data exists for this species, with 31 records documented on iNaturalist.
Pelochrista biplagata
Pelochrista biplagata is a species of tortricid moth in the family Tortricidae, described by Walsingham in 1895. It belongs to the large genus Pelochrista, which contains numerous species of small moths commonly known as tortricids or leafroller moths. The species is part of the subfamily Olethreutinae and tribe Eucosmini. Like other members of its genus, it is likely a small moth with typical tortricid morphology, though specific details about its biology remain poorly documented in available sources.
Pelochrista caniceps
Pelochrista caniceps is a species of tortricid moth in the subfamily Olethreutinae, tribe Eucosmini. First described by Walsingham in 1884, it is one of numerous small moth species in the genus Pelochrista. The genus contains many cryptically colored species that are difficult to distinguish without close examination. Like other tortricids, adults are typically nocturnal and may be attracted to ultraviolet light sources.
