Distribution: Canada: AB, BC, YT; USA: AK, WA, MT, CO. Similar Species: Pinned specimens of related species. (Hint: select View by Region on the related species page.) Synonymy: vulneratana of authors; (not Zetterstedt, 1839) (Tortrix) MISAPPL. Taxonomic Notes: Phtheochroa vulneratana of authors; (not Zetterstedt, 1839) is a cryptic species mistakenly regarded as the European species Phtheochroa vulneratana (Zetterstedt, 1839) in Powell (1990), Jour. Lepid. Soc., 44: 91. The two taxa are well separated by DNA barcode with the latter treated as extralimital to North America in Gilligan et al. (2020), Insects, 11(9), 594: 1-59.
