A checklist of the Tasmanian tortricid moths (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) and their host-plant relationships

Abstract

An annotated checklist of 165 described species of Tasmanian Tortricidae is presented. There is a single endemic genus, the monobasic Symphygas. The genera Coeloptera, Isotenes, Neohermenias and Tracholena are recorded for the first time. At least 60 species are endemic to Tasmania. Two species are introduced from Europe. The plant families Asteraceae and Myrtaceae are pre-eminent as foodplants. New foodplants are recorded for a number of species and the degree of monophagy is high. -from Author
