Distribution: Introduced species from Eurasia found in Ontario. Similar Species: Pinned specimens of related species. (Hint: select View by Region on the related species page.) Synonymy: oporana (Linnaeus, 1758) (Phalaena) - MONA 1983: 3663 bathyglypta (Meyrick, in: Caradja, 1932) (Cacoecia) dissimilana (Bentley, 1845) (Lozotaenia) hermanniana ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775) (Tortrix) impervia (Meyrick, in: Joannis, 1930) (Cacoecia) piceana (Linnaeus, 1758) (Phalaena) similis (Butler, 1879) (Cacoecia) Taxonomic Notes: Archips oporana (Linnaeus, 1758) was added to Hodges et al. (1983) (Checklist) based on specimens collected in Vancouver, BC and Font Hill, ON (Freeman 1958:16). Those specimens cannot be found and are considered unconfirmed, however, the species appears to persist in Ontario with recent DNA tested specimens at BOLD and sightings posted on iNaturalist.
