''Eurythecta'' is a genus of moths belonging to the subfamily Tortricinae The Tortricinae are the nominate subfamily of tortrix moths.

Eurythecta Robusta
''Eurythecta robusta'' is a species of moth in the family Tortricidae. This species is endemic to New Zealand. It is classified as "At Risk, Naturally Uncommon" by the Department of Conservation. Taxonomy This species was first described by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1877 and named ''Zelotherses robusta''. Butler used specimens from James Hector that were collected on the Canterbury Plains. Later in the same publication, thinking he was describing a separate species, Butler also named this moth ''Steganoptycha negligens''. In 1883 Edward Meyrick placed the species within the genus ''Eurythecta'' and synonymised both names given to the species by Butler. George Hudson discussed and illustrated this species in his 1928 publication ''The Moths and Butterflies of New Zealand''. The lectotype specimen is held at the Natural History Museum, London. Description Butler described the species as follows: Meyrick noted that the species is extremely variable in colour. Distri ...

Eurythecta Phaeoxyla
''Eurythecta phaeoxyla'' is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1938. It is endemic to New Zealand and has been observed in the Canterbury and Otago regions. The preferred habitat of this species is alpine swampy areas. The larvae feed on herbs and adults are on the wing in February. Taxonomy This species was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1938 using specimens collected by Stewart Lindsay at Mount Torlesse, Canterbury above Porter's Pass in February. George Hudson discussed and illustrated this species in his 1939 book ''A supplement to the butterflies and moths of New Zealand''. The placement of this species in the genus ''Eurythecta'' is in doubt and as such this species is also known as ''Eurythecta'' (s.l.) ''phaeoxyla.'' The male holotype specimen is held at the Canterbury Museum. Description Meyrick described this species as follows: Distribution It is endemic to New Zealand. This species has been obser ...

Archipini
The Archipini are a tribe of tortrix moths. Since many genera of these are not yet assigned to tribes, the genus list presented here is provisional. Diversity Archipini is the largest tribe in the Tortricinae subfamily, containing over 1,600 described species in about 150 genera. Distribution Archipini are found in all ecoregions, although there are only few species in the Neotropical realm. Biology Many of the economically important pests among the tortrix moths belong to this tribe, for example the Light brown apple moth and the spruce budworms. The larvae are often polyphagous.

Moth
Moths are a paraphyletic group of insects that includes all members of the order Lepidoptera that are not butterflies, with moths making up the vast majority of the order. There are thought to be approximately 160,000 species of moth, many of which have yet to be described. Most species of moth are nocturnal, but there are also crepuscular and diurnal species. Differences between butterflies and moths While the butterflies form a monophyletic group, the moths, comprising the rest of the Lepidoptera, do not. Many attempts have been made to group the superfamilies of the Lepidoptera into natural groups, most of which fail because one of the two groups is not monophyletic: Microlepidoptera and Macrolepidoptera, Heterocera and Rhopalocera, Jugatae and Frenatae, Monotrysia and Ditrysia.Scoble, MJ 1995.

Tortricidae
The Tortricidae are a family of moths, commonly known as tortrix moths or leafroller moths, in the order Lepidoptera. This large family has over 11,000 species described, and is the sole member of the superfamily Tortricoidea, although the genus '' Heliocosma'' is sometimes placed within this superfamily. Many of these are economically important pests. Olethreutidae is a junior synonym. The typical resting posture is with the wings folded back, producing a rather rounded profile. Notable tortricids include the codling moth and the spruce budworm, which are among the most well-studied of all insects because of their economic impact. Description Tortricid moths are generally small, with a wingspan of 3 cm or less.Hanson, Paul E. (04-11-2018). Insects and Other Arthropods of Tropical America. Cornell University Press. Many species are drab and have mottled and marbled brown colors, but some diurnal species are brightly colored and mimic other moths of the families Geome ...
