Comments: Olethreutes is a large genus with over 130 recognized species worldwide. North America has around 80 recognized species, with at least 37 species occurring in North Carolina. Some species are very difficult to identify due to interspecific similarities in color and forewing pattern and only subtle differences in genitalia (Gilligan et al., 2008). In many instances, knowledge of the host plant is essential for a confident determination. All of the Nearctic species are leaf-tiers or leaf-rollers on deciduous trees and shrubs.
Species Status: This is an undescribed species that appears to be closely related to the Olethreutes permundana group. It can be distinguished by its genitalia and its external maculation. Note the elongated teeth on the medial fascia, and the fusion of the subtornal patch with the medial patch.
