Pandemis heparana, the dark fruit-tree tortrix or apple brown tortrix, [2] is a moth of the family Tortricidae.
This species can be found in most of Europe, in the eastern Palearctic realm, in the Near East, [3] and in North America.
Pandemis heparana has a wingspan of 16–24 mm. [4] In these moths the basic color of the forewings ranges from yellowish brown to reddish brown, with a reticulate pattern, a dark brown basal fascia, dark brown transversal bands, two triangular spots and brown fringes at the edge. The hindwings are gray-brown with white-yellow fringes. The larva can reach 22 mm and it is pale green. [5] [6]
This species is rather similar to Pandemis cerasana . [4]
These moths have two generations per year (bivoltine). [5] The moth flies from late May to mid-September in western Europe. The larvae are considered a pest of trees and shrubs. [6] They live in a rolled leaf and are polyphagous, feeding on various deciduous trees and shrubs including oak, willow, birch, honeysuckle, sorbus, apple and pear. [4] [6] Pupation takes places in the rolled leaves. [7] [5]
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.
