Episimus tyrius, the maple tip borer moth or maple leaftier moth,[1] is a species of moth in the family Tortricidae. It is found in the eastern United States from New York to Florida west to Texas.[2]
The wingspan measures 9–12 mm. The moth flies year round in Florida, but flies from June to August in other parts of its range.[2]
The larvae feed on mainly on maples (Acer), but may also use redbay (Persea borbonia) and Carolina laurelcherry (Prunus caroliniana).[2][3]
