Planotortrix Excessana
''Planotortrix excessana'', the greenheaded leafroller, is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It is native to New Zealand and is an introduced species in Hawaii. It is extremely variable in appearance and feeds on many native and introduced species. It is regarded as a pest of some agricultural and forestry crops. Taxonomy This species was first described by Francis Walker (entomologist), Francis Walker in 1863 using a specimen collected in Nelson, New Zealand, Nelson by T.R. Oxley and named ''Teras excessana''. It is the Type (biology), type species for ''Planotortrix''. Also in 1963, Walker again described this species, but thinking it new named it ''Teras biguttana''. This name was synonymised by Edward Meyrick in 1883. George Hudson (entomologist), George Hudson discussed and illustrated this species in 1928 in his work ''The butterflies and moths of New Zealand.'' The male lectotype is held at the Natural History Museum, London. Description Hudson described the species as ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Planotortrix Notophaea
''Planotortrix notophaea'', the blacklegged leafroller, is a species of moth in the family Tortricidae. It is endemic to New Zealand. It was also present near Sydney in Australia, but this population is thought to be extinct. Taxonomy This species was first described in 1926 by A. J. Turner and named ''Tortrix notophaea''. Turner used a specimen sent to him by Alfred Philpott that had been reared in New Zealand. It had emerged from a cutting of ''Acacia decurrans'' that had been collecting at Epping, Sydney. The holotype specimen used for this description is now held at the New Zealand Arthropod Collection. No other specimens have been collected in Australia and as such that population is thought to be extinct. It has been hypothesised that this specimen resulted from the species becoming established in Epping as a result of a commercial nursery near where it was collected. In 1928 George Hudson illustrated this species under the name ''Tortrix excessana''. In 1946 J. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Planotortrix Avicenniae
''Planotortrix avicenniae'' is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. It is endemic to New Zealand. It is found in the North Island and its larvae feed on mangrove trees.

Archipini
The Archipini are a tribe The term tribe is used in many different contexts to refer to a category of human social group. The predominant worldwide usage of the term in English is in the discipline of anthropology. This definition is contested, in part due to confli ... of tortrix moths. Since many genera of these are not yet assigned to tribes, the genus list presented here is provisional. Diversity Archipini is the largest tribe in the Tortricinae subfamily, containing over 1,600 described species in about 150 genera. Distribution Archipini are found in all ecoregions, although there are only few species in the Neotropical realm. Biology Many of the economically important pest (organism), pests among the tortrix moths belong to this tribe, for example the Light brown apple moth and the spruce budworms. The larvae are often polyphagous. Genera *''Abrepagoge'' *''Acroceuthes'' *''Acropolitis'' *''Adoxophyes'' *''Allodemis'' *''Ancyroclepsis'' *''Aneuxanthis'' *''An ...

Moth
Moths are a paraphyletic group of insects that includes all members of the order Lepidoptera that are not butterflies, with moths making up the vast majority of the order. There are thought to be approximately 160,000 species of moth, many of which have yet to be described. Most species of moth are nocturnal, but there are also crepuscular and diurnal species. Differences between butterflies and moths While the butterflies form a monophyletic group, the moths, comprising the rest of the Lepidoptera, do not. Many attempts have been made to group the superfamilies of the Lepidoptera into natural groups, most of which fail because one of the two groups is not monophyletic: Microlepidoptera and Macrolepidoptera, Heterocera and Rhopalocera, Jugatae and Frenatae, Monotrysia and Ditrysia.Scoble, MJ 1995.

Tortricinae
The Tortricinae are the nominate subfamily of tortrix moths. Commonly referred to as leafrollers, as the larvae build shelters by folding or rolling leaves of the food plant, the tortricinae include several notable pests as well species used as biological control agents against invasive weeds.

Tortricidae
The Tortricidae are a family of moths, commonly known as tortrix moths or leafroller moths, in the order Lepidoptera. This large family has over 11,000 species described, and is the sole member of the superfamily Tortricoidea, although the genus ''Heliocosma'' is sometimes placed within this superfamily. Many of these are economically important pests. Olethreutidae is a junior synonym. The typical resting posture is with the wings folded back, producing a rather rounded profile. Notable tortricids include the codling moth and the spruce budworm, which are among the most well-studied of all insects because of their economic impact. Description Tortricid moths are generally small, with a wingspan of 3 cm or less.Hanson, Paul E. (04-11-2018). Insects and Other Arthropods of Tropical America. Cornell University Press. Many species are drab and have mottled and marbled brown colors, but some diurnal species are brightly colored and mimic other moths of the families Geometrida ...
