Deskripsi

The Tunisian fauna of Tortricidae has been poorly investigated despite the great economic importance of this family. Sampling of Tortricidae insects was carried out in spring and summer 2010 in two cork oak (Quercus suber) forestsin northwestern Tunisia. Three species are reported for the first time: Archips xylosteana, Pammene splendidulana, Pammene giganteana. Their identification was achieved using DNA barcodes.
