The species is documented from western North America, with records from Alberta, Canada. Like other Epinotia species, it is likely associated with coniferous hosts, though specific biological details remain poorly documented in published literature.
Ethelgoda texanana
Ethelgoda texanana is a small tortricid moth in the subfamily Olethreutinae, tribe Grapholitini. The species was described from Texas in 1879 and belongs to a genus containing approximately five described species distributed in the Nearctic and Neotropical regions. As a member of the Grapholitini, it is likely associated with woody plants, though specific biological details remain poorly documented in published literature.
Eucosma tenuiana
Eucosma tenuiana is a species of tortricid moth in the subfamily Olethreutinae, described by Walsingham in 1879. It belongs to the large genus Eucosma, which contains numerous small moths often associated with composite plants.
