Phtheochroa pistrinana is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in China (Beijing, Jiangxi, Xizang, Gansu), Japan, Korea, Mongolia[2] and the Russian Far East (Dsharkent, Minussinsk, Irkutsk, Amur).[3]
Appearance
Phtheochroa pistrinana is a small moth with a wingspan of approximately 15-22 mm. Its forewings have a distinctive pattern formed by a broad median band and a second submarginal band, creating contrasting transverse markings across the wing. It resembles Phtheochroa inopiana, although the latter generally has a more distinctly ochreous forewing pattern[4].
