Choristoneura rosaceana, the oblique banded leaf roller or rosaceous leaf roller, is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It is native to North America, but has been accidentally introduced into other parts of the world.

The wingspan is about 25 mm [2]. The forewing length is 7.5–11 mm for males and 11.5–14 mm for females[3]. Adults are on wing from June to July and again from August to September in most of its range.

Description

[edit]

The caterpillar is green with a black head. The adult is a small, light brown moth.

Symptoms and signs

[edit]

The presence of the species is suggested by rolled, tied and chewed leaves and minor feeding damage on fruits. Damage can be extensive on rosaceous plants.
