Wikipedia Abstract

Tortrix sinapina, the Japanese oak leafroller, is a species of moth of the Tortricidae family. It is found in the Russian Far East (Ussuri), China (Zhejiang) and Japan (Honshu, Hokkaido). The wingspan is 18-25 mm. The larvae feed on Quercus mongolica, Quercus dentata, Lespedeza bicolor, Tilia japonica and Sorbus alnifolia. They roll the leaves of their host plant, creating a cigar-shaped shelter from which they feed. The larvae are green or whitish-green with a black head. The species overwinters as an egg.
