The Cochylini are a tribe of tortrix moths. It used to be classified as the subfamily Cochylinae.

Diversity

[edit]

The tribe contains about 1,000 described species in about 80 genera.

Distribution

[edit]

Members of the tribe are present worldwide, but the greatest number of species occurs in the Holarctic realm and Neotropical realm.

Biology

[edit]

Larvae are mostly internal feeders in seeds, stalks and roots.[1]

Taxonomy

[edit]

Research by Regier et al. in 2012 provided fairly convincing evidence that Cochylini are a monophyletic lineage within a broader Euliini. If this is accepted, Cochylini should be treated as subtribe Cochylina of Euliini.
