Cydia millenniana, the larch gall moth, is a moth of the family Tortricidae which galls larch (Larix spp). [1] It is found from Europe to Russia and the Korean Peninsula.

Contents

This species is often confused with Cydia zebeana , which makes it difficult to be sure about the data published on the biology of both species. According to Whitebread (1975) and Booij and Diakonoff (1983), larvae of Cydia milleniana form galls, while larvae of Cydia zebeana do not.

The wingspan is 13–18 mm. Adults are on wing in June and July or May and June.

The larvae feed on Larix species. The larvae mine under the bark and cannot be detected, but gradually develop a resinous gall. Bark wounds, caused by the feeding of the larvae, are penetration sites for spores of the larch cancer Lachnellulla willkommii .

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.
