Argyroploce chlorosaris is a species of moth in the family Tortricidae first described by Edward Meyrick in 1914.[1][2] This species is endemic to New Zealand.[3] The classification of this moth within the genus Argyroploce is regarded as unsatisfactory and in need of revision.[3] As such this species is currently also known as Argyroploce (s.l.) chlorosaris.[1]

Host species

The larval host of this species is Metrosideros excelsa.[4] The larve live inside the seeds of this tree.[4]
