Paralobesia liriodendrana_magnoliana (none) - No Common Name

No image for this species.

Taxonomy

Family:
Tortricidae

P3 Number:
0.00

MONA Number:
2711.20

Comments: Paralobesia liriodendrana and P. magnoliana appear to have essentially identical life histories, with the larvae feeding in a partial leaf-fold that is often made along the midrib of either Liriodendron or Magnolia leaves. Because these two species currently cannot be separated based on larval morphology, host plants, or other aspects of the larval life history, we are currently placing submissions of leaf-folds in the 'Paralobesia liriodendrana_magnoliana' account. Paralobesia magnoliana appears to be relatively rare in North Carolina, and the vast majority of these leaf-fold records seen below are likely those of P. liriodendrana.
