Order: Lepidoptera
Family: Tortricidae

Tribe: Euliini
Kuznetzov & Stekolnikov, 1977

The Euliini are a tribe of tortrix moths.

Distribution

[edit]

Most Euliini (nearly 98%) are found in the Neotropics and a small number is found in the Nearctic. Only Eulia is found in the Old World, since it has a Holarctic distribution.

Diversity

[edit]

The tribe includes over 650 described species in nearly 90 genera. Most species have been described in recent years.

Taxonomic history

[edit]

The tribe was first proposed as Euliae by Kuznetsov and Stekolnikov (1977) as a subtribe of Cochylini. Powell elevated the group to tribal status in 1986. Research by Regier et al. in 2012 has provided fairly convincing evidence that Cochylini are a monophyletic lineage within a broader Euliini. If this is accepted, Cochylini should be treated as subtribe Cochylina of Euliini.

Biology

[edit]

The larvae of most species are leaf-rollers or leaf-folders. However, some may be gall-inducers or leaf litter-feeders.[1]
