Welcome to Indian Tortricidae
The major goal of this e resource platform on Indian Tortricidae is to develop online taxonomic monograph on family Tortricidae. We intend to provide species pages along with host plants, distribution maps and bibliography.
It constitutes species illustrations with diagnosis characters which will help in identification.
The data generated under this project is funded by DST-SERB Core Research Grant (CRG/2018/000753).

The moth family Tortricidae includes over 1,000 genera and nearly 10,000 named species (Brown et al. 2005, Baixeras et al. 2010). The only family in the superfamily Tortricoidea, Tortricidae is second only to the Gelechioidea in species diversity within the “microlepidoptera” grade (Horak and Brown, 1991; Horak, 2006). They are diverse and abundant components of tropical, subtropical and temperate forest ecosystems, and are economically important because many species are infest agriculturally important plants (Van Der Geest and Evenhuis, 1991).
