Epinotia solandriana is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in Europe, China (Jilin, Heilongjiang, Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai provinces), Korea, Japan, and Russia.[2]

Morphology

[edit]

The wingspan is 16–21 mm.The forewings are elongate and the costa moderately arched, the fold reaching 1/3. The ground colour varies from whitish ochreous or brownish to ferruginous. It may have dark fine streaks, sometimes whitish-mixed. The basal patch has an angulated edge, and the central fascia narrows towards its extremities. Both are sometimes darker. A rounded triangular white or pale median dorsal blotch is sometimes replaced by a more elongate semi-oval, dark reddish-brown blotch. The termen is rather oblique. The hindwings are light grey. The larva is grey-whitish or dull greenish ; head pale brown or partly black ; plate of 2 whitish or brown [3]

Ecology

[edit]

The moth flies in one generation from July to September depending on the location.

The larvae mainly feed on birch (Betula species), hazel (Corylus avellana), and willow (Salix species)
