Pandemis canadana | |
Pandemis canadana, the green aspen leaftier, is a moth of the family Tortricidae. The species was first described by William D. Kearfott in 1905. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from British Columbia to Nova Scotia, south to Colorado, Illinois and Maine. [2] The habitat consists of deciduous forests and shrubs.
The wingspan is 19–20 mm. The ground colour of the forewings varies from light to dark brown with dark brown markings. The basal, median and upper postmedian lines are defined with a pale edge. The hindwings are light to dark grey. Adults are on wing from early July to mid-August.
The larvae feed on various deciduous trees and shrubs. [3]
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.
The Archipini are a tribe of tortrix moths. Since many genera of these are not yet assigned to tribes, the genus list presented here is provisional.
