Selania capparidana is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It was described by Philipp Christoph Zeller in 1847 and is found in Europe.
The wingspan is 9–10 mm.
The larvae feed on the caper bush ( Capparis spinosa ), mining the leaves of their host plant. [2] The mine has the form of a full-depth corridor, which later becomes more blotch-like. A single larva makes several mines. [3] Larvae of the summer generation feed in the shoots, buds and fruits of their host plant.[ citation needed ] Pupation takes place outside of the mine. [3]
The moth is found in the Balearic Islands, Spain, Sardinia, Italy and Greece. [4]
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.
