Olethreutini

Olethreutini are a large tribe (over 1,200 described species) with a worldwide distribution. In a multi-gene molecular analysis by Regier et al. (2012), Bactrini and Endotheniini , formerly considered distinct tribes ( Horak 1998), were found to be deeply embedded within Olethreutini and hence, those two tribes were synonymized with the latter.

Most species of Olethreutini are leaf-rollers in dicotyledonous plants; about half are food-plant specialists and half polyphagous. In addition to leaf-rolling, there are a number of seed and fruit feeders and a few stem-borers. During the survey in Ecuador, a single representative of the tribe Olethreutini was reared from leaves.
