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 Geometrid ...

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. Genera ''incertae sedis'' These tortricine genera have not been assigned to a tribe yet: * ''Apateta'' * ''Apinoglossa'' * ''Arotrophora'' * ''Camadeniana'' * ''Deltisosciaria'' * ''Hydaranthes'' * ''Ioditis'' * ''Matronula'' * ''Paracomotis'' * ''Paraphyas'' * ''Parastranga'' * ''Peraglyphis'' * ''Syllomatia'' * ''Symphygas'' * ''Tanychaeta'' Former genera :''Alytopistis'' (synonym of ''Ardiosteres'') Life cycle File:Acleris schalleriana caterpillar.jpg, Caterpillar of ''Acleris schalleriana'' inside rolled leaf of ''Viburnum dentatum'' File:Acleris schalleriana pupa.jpg, Pupa File:Acleris schalleriana adult.jpg, Adult References External links Markku Savela's Lepidoptera and so ...
