Arotrophora
''Arotrophora'' is a genus of tortrix moth. They occur in Australia, where they are strongly associated with the plant family Proteaceae. All of the known Australian larvae bore in ''Banksia'' flower spikes. The genus was recently discovered from the Indomalayan realm, Oriental region, 2009, Oriental ''Arotrophora'' Meyrick (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) and its species, ''Polish Journal of Entomology'' 78 (1): 33-57. Full article/ref> and one species is found on New Guinea, Papua. Taxonomy The genus was first published by amateur entomologist Edward Meyrick. It is currently placed in subfamily Tortricinae (although most entomologists now consider this an unnatural group), and sometimes in the tribe Cnephasiini, although it is quite different from Northern Hemisphere genera placed in that tribe. It is closely related to genera including ''Peraglyphis'' and ''Syllomatia''; together, these genera are sometimes referred to as the ''Arotrophora'' group. Species The species of ''Arotrop ...

Arotrophora Arcuatalis
''Arotrophora arcuatalis'', commonly known as banksia boring moth or rarely banksia moth, is a species of Australian Tortricidae, tortrid moth best known as a pest of ''Banksia''. First described by Francis Walker (entomologist), Francis Walker in 1865, it is the type species for ''Arotrophora''. It occurs throughout coastal and sub-coastal areas of southern Australia. Adults are grey with brown and white markings. The moth lays its eggs on the surface of the flower spikes of ''Banksia'' while in early bud, and the larvae tunnel into the axis of the spike, boring from follicle to follicle to consume the seeds. They infest a wide range of ''Banksia'' species, in some species substantially reducing the seed set. In the cut flower industry, their tunnelling affects the cosmetic qualities of flower spikes, rendering them unsaleable. As a result, there has been significant research into control of the moth, including identification of its pheromones. References External links * (wi ...
