Argyrotaenia dorsalana is a moth of the family Tortricidae.[1][2][3] It is found in western North America from southern British Columbia[2][3] south to California, Arizona, and New Mexico.[2]
The wingspan is 18–24 mm (0.71–0.94 in).[2]
The larvae mainly feed on Douglas-fir, Rocky Mountain Douglas-fir, western hemlock and western larch, but have also been recorded on grand fir, ponderosa pine and spruce.[3] In the Great Basin, the preferred hosts are pinyon pines.[2] It appears to overwinter in the egg stage. Larvae are present from early May to mid-June. Pupation takes place in late June and adults emerge soon after.[3]
