Aethes angulatana
Angular Aethes Moth, angular aethes
Aethes angulatana, commonly known as the Angular Aethes Moth, is a small tortricid moth described by Robinson in 1869. Adults are active during summer months, with flight periods varying by latitude. The species is relatively well-documented with over 200 iNaturalist observations.
Aethes louisiana
Aethes louisiana is a small tortricid moth described from the United States in 1907. The species is distinguished by its light straw-colored forewings with golden yellow overlay and two dark golden brown basal fasciae. It has been recorded from Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana, with adults active during late spring. The species name reflects its association with the state of Louisiana, though current records suggest a broader midwestern distribution.
Atteriini
Atteriini is a tribe of tortrix moths within the subfamily Tortricinae, established by Busck in 1932. The tribe comprises eight recognized genera distributed primarily in the Neotropical region. Atteriini is part of the diverse family Tortricidae, which includes many economically important leafroller moths.
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.
Decodes
Decodes is a genus of tortricid moths in the subfamily Tortricinae, tribe Cnephasiini. The genus was established by Obraztsov in 1961 and contains approximately 20 described species distributed primarily in North America. Many species were described by Powell and colleagues between 1961 and 1998. The genus is part of the diverse leafroller moth family Tortricidae, whose larvae typically feed on plants.
Decodes fragariana
Decodes fragariana is a species of tortricid moth in the tribe Cnephasiini. Originally described by Busck in 1919 as Tortricodes fragariana, it was later transferred to the genus Decodes. The species is a member of the large family Tortricidae, which includes many economically significant agricultural pests. As a tortricine moth, it likely exhibits the characteristic bell-shaped resting posture with wings folded roof-like over the abdomen.
Dorithia
Dorithia is a genus of tortrix moths (family Tortricidae) in the subfamily Tortricinae. The genus was established by Powell in 1964 and contains approximately 17 described species, most of which were described by Brown & Powell in 1991. Species are found in North America, with several distributed in western regions. The genus belongs to the tribe Cochylini.
Phtheochroa
Phtheochroa is a large genus of tortrix moths in the family Tortricidae, tribe Cochylini, subfamily Tortricinae. The genus was established by Stephens in 1829 and contains numerous species distributed across the Holarctic region, with records from Europe, North America, and other regions. Species-level identification often requires examination of genitalia, particularly in males where intraspecific variation in vesica structure has been documented.
Platphalonidia lavana
Platphalonidia lavana is a small tortricid moth described by Busck in 1907. It occurs throughout North America, with confirmed records from Alberta and Manitoba in Canada. The species has been placed in both Phalonidia and Platphalonidia, reflecting ongoing taxonomic uncertainty. It occupies terrestrial habitats and lacks a global conservation status assessment.
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.
