Pandemis cerasana, the barred fruit-tree tortrix, is a moth of the family Tortricidae. [2] [3] [4]
This quite common species is found in Europe, from the Iberian Peninsula to the Ural Mountains and the Caucasus, east to southern Siberia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, China and the Far East. It is also found in Asia Minor and Iran. It is an introduced species in North America. [5] [6]
The barred fruit-tree tortrix live in woodland areas, gardens and orchards. [7]
The wingspan of Pandemis cerasana can reach 16–25 mm. [7] Forewings ground colour ranges from pale ocher yellow to greyish brown with a large dark chestnut brown V marking and a dark brown lateral spot. The outer margin of forewings is sinuous, slightly oblique.
The hind wings are almost uniform greyish brown. Antennae of the males have a notch near the base. Larvae can reach a length of about 20 millimetres (0.79 in). They are light green, thin and flattened.
Pupae are light brown to brownish black and reach a length of 9–15 millimetres (0.35–0.59 in). These tortrix moths usually rest holding their bell-shaped wings in a flattened posture. [7] [8]
In western Europe these moths fly from June to August, mainly from dusk into the night. [7] This species has two generations a year, the second generation larva being the winter form.
The larvae are polyphagous and feed on various deciduous trees and shrubs (Abies, Alnus, Acer, Betula, Crataegus, Fraxinus, Quercus) including fruit-trees (especially apple and pear, hazelnut (Corylus), currant (Ribes), blackberry and raspberry (Rubus) and cherry and plum (Prunus). [7] [8]
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.
Urodidae or "false burnet moths" is a family of moths in the lepidopteran order. It is the type genus in the superfamily, Urodoidea, with three genera, one of which, Wockia, occurs in Europe.
Bibasis harisa, the orange awlet, is a species of hesperid found in Asia. The butterfly was reassigned to genus Burara by Vane-Wright and de Jong (2003) and is considered by them to be Burara harisa.
Bibasis vasutana, the green awlet, is a species of hesperid butterfly found in Asia. The butterfly was reassigned to genus Burara by Vane-Wright and de Jong (2003) and is considered by them to be Burara vasutana.
