Syndemis musculana (Hübner, 1799) | |
Syndemis musculana is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in Europe, China (Heilongjiang, Jilin, Inner Mongolia), the Korean Peninsula, Japan, Russia (Amur) and North America. [1]
The wingspan is 15–22 mm. The species lacks striking patterns and is also quite variable in colour, thus it is not easy to determine. The head, thoracic and forewing are more or less brownish grey. The forewing has a more or less distinct, wide, brown cross-band in the middle. The hindwings are light grey-brown.
The adults fly from April to July in the temperate parts of their range, such as Belgium and the Netherlands.
The caterpillars feed on oaks ( Quercus ), birches ( Betula ), spruces ( Picea ), ragworts ( Senecio ) and Rubus (brambles and allies). Less usually, they have been recorded [2] to eat plant refuse and dry leaves.
Obsolete scientific names of this species are:
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.
Archips xylosteana, the variegated golden tortrix or brown oak tortrix, is a moth of the family Tortricidae.
Enarmonia formosana, the cherrybark tortrix or cherry-bark moth, is a small but colorful moth species of the family Tortricidae. It is native to all of northern and western Europe, ranging south to the Maghreb. North of the Alps its range extends eastwards to Siberia and Kazakhstan. Possibly and most likely introduced populations are found in Asia Minor and North America, respectively.
Olethreutes arcuella, the arched marble, is a colorful small moth species of the family Tortricidae.
Hedya nubiferana, the marbled orchard tortrix or green budworm moth, is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in the Palearctic and Nearctic realms.
Celypha rufana, common name lakes marble, is a small moth species of the family Tortricidae, long known under the junior synonym C. rosaceana.
Monopis obviella is a species of tineoid moth. It belongs to the fungus moth family (Tineidae), and therein to the nominate subfamily Tineinae. It is the type species of Blabophanes, today treated as a junior synonym of the genus Monopis. M. crocicapitella was only separated from the present species in 1859, and is still frequently confused with it even by rather recent sources.
Triaxomera parasitella is a species of tineoid moth. It belongs to the fungus moth family (Tineidae), and therein to the subfamily Nemapogoninae. It is widespread and common in much of western Eurasia, but seems to be absent from some more outlying regions, such as Portugal and the eastern Baltic, Ireland and Iceland. It has also not been recorded from Slovenia but given that it is found in neighboring countries, it may well occur there unnoticed. Recently, the species was recorded from British Columbia. Generally, it is a moth of warm temperate regions, e.g. in Great Britain it is only a rare and scarce species from the English Midlands northwards.
Archips rosana, the rose tortrix, is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in both the Palearctic and Nearctic realms.
Archips is a genus of tortrix moths the tribe Archipini. Species include the oak leaf roller, which eats the leaves of oak trees.
