Epinotia


Epinotia is a very large genus of tortrix moths. It belongs to the tribe Eucosmini of subfamily Olethreutinae.

Species

166 species of Epinotia were considered valid as of 2009. Though many tortrix moth genera are fairly comprehensively studied, with little other than cryptic [species complex]es remaining undiscovered, distinct new species of Epinotia are being described every few years or so. With such a large and insufficiently known taxon, it is of course possible that the group may not be monophyletic as circumscribed here:Epinotia abbreviana Epinotia abnormana Kuznetzov, 1973Epinotia absconditana Epinotia aciculana Falkovitsh, 1965Epinotia albangulana Epinotia albicapitana Epinotia albiguttata Epinotia algeriensis Chambon in Chambon, Fabre & Khemeci, 1990Epinotia aquila Kuznetzov, 1968Epinotia araea Diakonoff, 1983Epinotia arctostaphylana Epinotia aridos Freeman, 1960Epinotia atacta Diakonoff, 1992Epinotia autonoma Falkovitsh, 1965Epinotia autumnalis Oku, 2005Epinotia balsameae Freeman, 1965Epinotia biangulana Epinotia bicolor Epinotia bicordana Heinrich, 1923Epinotia bigemina Heinrich, 1923Epinotia bilunanaEpinotia bricelus Diakonoff, 1992Epinotia brunnichanaEpinotia bushiensis Kawabe, 1980Epinotia canthonias Epinotia caprana Epinotia castaneana Epinotia cedricida Diakonoff, 1969Epinotia celtisana Epinotia cercocarpana Epinotia chloana Razowski & Wojtusiak, 2006Epinotia chloizans Razowski & Wojtusiak, 2006Epinotia cineracea Nasu, 1991Epinotia clasta Diakonoff, 1983Epinotia columbia Epinotia contrariana Epinotia corylana McDunnough, 1925Epinotia coryli Kuznetzov, 1970Epinotia crenana Epinotia criddleana Epinotia cruciana – willow tortrixEpinotia cuphulana Epinotia dalmatana Epinotia demarnianaEpinotia densiuncaria Kuznetzov, 1985Epinotia deruptana Kennel, 1901Epinotia digitana Heinrich, 1923Epinotia dorsifraga Diakonoff, 1970Epinotia emarginana Epinotia ethnica Heinrich, 1923Epinotia evidens Kuznetzov, 1971Epinotia exquisitana Epinotia festivana Epinotia fraternana Epinotia fujisawai Kawabe, 1993Epinotia fumoviridana Heinrich, 1923Epinotia gimmerthaliana Epinotia granitana Epinotia granitalis Epinotia hamptonana Epinotia hesperidana Kennel, 1921Epinotia heucherana Heinrich, 1923Epinotia hopkinsana Epinotia huroniensis Brown, 1980Epinotia hypsidryas Epinotia illepidosa Epinotia immaculata Peiu & Nemes, 1968Epinotia immundanaEpinotia improvisana Heinrich, 1923Epinotia infessana Epinotia infuscana Epinotia intermissa Epinotia javierana Razowski & Pelz, 2007Epinotia johnsonana Epinotia kasloana McDunnough, 1925Epinotia keiferana Lange, 1937Epinotia ketamana Epinotia kochiana Epinotia lanceata Razowski, 1999Epinotia lindana – diamondback epinotia mothEpinotia lomonana Epinotia maculanaEpinotia madderana Epinotia majorana Epinotia medioplagata Epinotia medioviridana Epinotia melanosticta Epinotia mercurianaEpinotia meritana Heinrich, 1923Epinotia miscana Epinotia mniara Diakonoff, 1992Epinotia momonana Epinotia monticola Kawabe, 1993Epinotia myricana McDunnough, 1933Epinotia nananaEpinotia nemorivaga Epinotia nigralbana Epinotia nigralbanoidana McDunnough, 1929Epinotia nigricana Epinotia nigristriana Budashkin & Zlatkov, 2011Epinotia nigrovenata Razowski & Pelz, 2010Epinotia nisella Epinotia niveipalpa Razowski, 2009Epinotia nonana Epinotia normanana Kearfott, 1907Epinotia notoceliana Kuznetzov, 1985Epinotia parki Bae, 1997Epinotia pentagonana Kennel, 1901Epinotia penthrana Bradley, 1965Epinotia phyloeorrhages Diakonoff, 1970Epinotia piceae Epinotia piceicola Kuznetzov, 1970Epinotia pinicola Kuznetzov, 1969 Epinotia plumbolineana Kearfott, 1907Epinotia pullata Epinotia pulsatillana Epinotia purpuriciliana Epinotia pusillanaEpinotia pygmaeana – pygmy needle tortricidEpinotia radicana Epinotia ramellaEpinotia rasdolnyana Epinotia rectiplicana Epinotia removana McDunnough, 1935Epinotia rubiginosanaEpinotia rubricana Kuznetzov, 1968Epinotia ruidosana Heinrich, 1923Epinotia sagittana McDunnough, 1925Epinotia salicicolana Kuznetzov, 1968Epinotia seorsa Heinrich, 1924Epinotia septemberana Kearfott, 1907Epinotia signatanaEpinotia signiferana Heinrich, 1923Epinotia silvertoniensis Heinrich, 1923Epinotia slovacica Patocka & Jaro, 1991Epinotia solandrianaEpinotia solicitana Epinotia sordidanaEpinotia sotipena Brown, 1987Epinotia sperana McDunnough, 1935Epinotia subocellana Epinotia subplicana Epinotia subsequana Epinotia subuculana Rebel, 1903Epinotia subviridis Heinrich, 1929Epinotia tedellaEpinotia tenebrica Razowski & Wojtusiak, 2006Epinotia teneranaEpinotia terracoctana Epinotia tetraquetrana Epinotia thaiensis Kawabe, 1995Epinotia thapsiana Epinotia tianshanensis Liu & Nasu, 1993Epinotia transmissana Epinotia trigonella Epinotia trossulana Epinotia tsugana Freeman, 1967Epinotia tsurugisana Oku, 2005Epinotia ulmi Kuznetzov, 1966Epinotia ulmicola Kuznetzov, 1966Epinotia unisignana Kuznetzov, 1962Epinotia vagana Heinrich, 1923Epinotia vertumnana Epinotia vorana Epinotia walkerana Epinotia xandana Epinotia xyloryctoides Diakonoff, 1992Epinotia yoshiyasui Kawabe, 1989Epinotia zamorata Razowski, 1999

Synonyms

In particular during the early to mid-19th century, when little of the diversity of Epinotia was known, it was split into many smaller genera. Today however, these are generally – but not universally, e.g. regarding the supposedly monotypic Griselda, or Catastega which is here considered separate but included in Epinotia elsewhere – included here again at least pending a thorough taxonomic review. Now-invalid scientific names of Epinotia are:Acalla Hübner, Astatia Hübner, 1825Asthenia Hübner, 1825Cartella Stephens, 1852Ccalla Curtella Epinotis Evertia Evetria Hübner, 1825Griselda Heinrich, 1923Hamuligera Obraztsov, 1946Hikagehamakia Oku, 1974Hypermecia Guenée, 1845Lithographia Stephens, 1852Neurasthenia Pierce & Metcalf, 1922Paedisca Treitschke, 1830Pamplasia Pamplusia Guenée, 1845Panoplia Hübner, 1825Paragrapha Sodoffsky, 1837Phlaeodes Guenée, 1845Phloeodes Podisca Poecilochroma Stephens, 1829Proteopteryx Walsingham, 1879Steganoptera Steganoptica Steganoptycha Stephens, 1834
Halonota has also been listed as junior synonym of Epinotia. But its type species Pyralis populana is today placed in Pammene, and thus Halonota is a junior subjective synonym of the latter genus.
