Acleris robinsoniana, Robinson's acleris moth, is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from the north-eastern United States across southern Canada to British Columbia and south to California. [2]

The length of the forewings is 8.1–8.7 mm. Adults have a variable forewing pattern, ranging from uniform brown, to specimens with a white basal area and brown outer area or even specimens with a dark blue-grey ground colour with a yellow dorsal margin. There are up to two generations per year with adults on wing from May to June.

The larvae feed on Rosa californica . Young larvae fold or tie developing leaves and feed on the upper surface. Older larvae fold leaves and feed on the apical half. The species overwinters as an adult. [3]
