Acleris ferrugana is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in China,[3] most of Europe and has also been recorded from North America.[4]

Larva
Larva feeding beneath webbing

The wingspan is 14–18 mm. It is a very variable species. Some forms are very similar to Acleris notana and the two can only separated by examination of the genitalia. Julius von Kennel provides a full description.[5]

Adults are on wing in July and again in September and October. The second generation overwinters and reappears in spring.[6]

The larvae feed on Quercus species.
