Guides

  • Ancylis maritima

    Ancylis maritima is a species of tortricid moth in the family Tortricidae, described by Harrison Gray Dyar in 1904. It belongs to the genus Ancylis, a group of small moths commonly known as leafroller moths or tortrix moths. The specific epithet 'maritima' suggests a possible association with coastal or maritime habitats, though this has not been confirmed by available sources. Very little is known about the biology, ecology, or distribution of this species beyond its taxonomic classification.

  • Cydia tana

    Cydia tana is a species of tortricid moth in the family Tortricidae, first described by Kearfott in 1907. It belongs to the genus Cydia, which includes numerous species of small moths commonly known as tortrix moths or leafroller moths. Like other members of this genus, C. tana is likely associated with woody plants, though specific host relationships remain poorly documented. The species is rarely encountered in collections and has minimal published biological information.

  • Ephippiphora

    Ephippiphora is a genus of tortrix moths established by Duponchel in 1834. It is currently treated as a synonym of Grapholita, a large genus within the subfamily Olethreutinae. The genus belongs to the tribe Grapholitini, which contains numerous small moth species often associated with fruit and seed feeding. Ephippiphora has been documented in 711 iNaturalist observations.

  • Epinotia digitana

    Epinotia digitana is a species of tortricid moth described by Heinrich in 1923. It belongs to the genus Epinotia, a diverse group of small moths commonly known as tortrix moths or leafroller moths. The species is classified within the subfamily Olethreutinae and tribe Eucosmini. Like other members of its genus, it is presumed to have larvae that feed internally within plant tissues, though specific host associations for this species remain poorly documented.

  • Epinotia subplicana

    Epinotia subplicana is a small tortricid moth in the family Tortricidae, subfamily Olethreutinae, and tribe Eucosmini. The species was described by Walsingham in 1879. As a member of the genus Epinotia, it belongs to a diverse group of small moths commonly known as tortrix moths or leafroller moths, many of which are associated with coniferous hosts.

  • Gretchena concubitana

    Gretchena concubitana is a species of tortrix moth in the family Tortricidae, described by Carl Heinrich in 1923. It belongs to the subfamily Olethreutinae and tribe Eucosmini. The genus Gretchena comprises small moths primarily distributed in North America. Records from iNaturalist indicate this species has been documented in at least 37 observations, suggesting it is not extremely rare, though detailed biological studies remain limited.

  • Olethreutes mediopartitum

    Olethreutes mediopartitum is a species of tortricid moth in the family Tortricidae, first described by Heinrich in 1923. Like other members of the genus Olethreutes, it belongs to a diverse group of small to medium-sized moths commonly known as tortrix moths or leafroller moths. The genus Olethreutes is taxonomically complex, with many species requiring detailed examination for accurate identification. Information specific to this species remains limited in publicly available sources.
