Archipini

Archipini are a large tribe (over 1,200 described species) with a worldwide distribution, but perhaps with its lowest species richness in the Neotropics. Most species are polyphagous leaf-rollers, although there are numerous exceptions. The tribe includes some of the most economically important tortricids on the planet, such as the spruce budworms ( Choristoneura spp.), red-banded leaf-roller ( Argyrotaenia velutinana (Walker, 1863)) , light-brown apple moth ( Epiphyas postvittana (Walker, 1863)) , greater tea tortrix ( Homona coffearia (Nietner, 1861)) , and many others. During the survey in Ecuador, a single Archipini was reared.
