“…The species is also mentioned in the literature from Argentina but restricted to Chile based on the Centre for Agricultural and Bioscience International [ 4 , 5 ], therefore considered a native moth. Proeulia auraria is the economically most important species of the Genus Proeulia, endemic to Chile [ 6 , 7 , 8 ]. It is a polyphagous insect that has moved from native hosts to exotic plants [ 9 ]; the hosts reported for either P. auraria or Proeulia sp, include citrus, figs, grapes, kiwifruits, loquats, pome fruits, pomegranates, stone fruits, and walnuts; several native plants (e.g., Ugni molinae Turcz), weeds (e.g., Galega officinalis L.), and ornamental trees (e.g., Platanus orientalis L.) [ 3 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ].…”

The leafroller Proeulia auraria (Clarke) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is a native, polyphagous, and growing pest of several fruit crops in Chile; it also has quarantine importance to several markets, thus tools for management are needed. Using synthetic pheromone compounds, we conducted field trials to optimize the blend for monitoring, and to determine the activity period of rubber septa aged under field conditions. We concluded that septa loaded with 200 μg of E11-14:OAc + 60 μg E11-14:OH allowed for efficient trap captures for up to 10 weeks. Using this blend, we studied the phenology of adult males in vineyards, apple, and blueberry orchards, identifying two long flight cycles per season, lasting from September to May and suggesting 2–3 generations during the season. No or low adult activity was observed during January and between late May and late August. Furthermore, mating disruption (MD) field trials showed that application of 250 pheromone point sources using the dispenser wax matrix SPLAT (Specialized Pheromone and Lure Application Technology, 10.5% pheromone) with a total of 78 g/ha of the blend described above resulted in trap shutdown immediately after application, and mating disruption >99% in all orchards for at least 5 months. We concluded that MD is feasible for P. auraria, needing now the development of a commercial product and the strategy (and protocols) necessary to control this pest in conventional and organic orchards in Chile. As far as we know, this is the first report on MD development against a South American tortricid pest.

Seven new genera in the tortricid subtribe Euliina (Cochylini) are described and illustrated from Chile and Argentina: Argentiliana, new genus, and its type species A. basipallida, new species; Terifrona, new genus, and its type species T. fronteria, new species; Transtilliana, new genus, and its type species T. biloba, new species; Vargasia, new genus, and its type species V. karsholti, new species; Hamiamia, new genus, and its type species H. trancasiana (Razowski & Pelz, 2010), new combination; Endemulia, new genus, and its type species E. urrai, new species; and Silenoides, new genus, and its type species, S. divergens, new species. The following new species are also described and illustrated: Varifula geomops, new species; Proeulia hasta, new species; Proeulia razowskii, new species; Strophotina samara, new species; Gnatheulia flava, new species; Paratepa argentinana, new species; Galomecalpa decolorana, new species; and Archipimima clarkei, new species. All but Archipimima are assigned to Euliina; Archipimima is assigned to Atteriini. Cnephasia clisias Meyrick and C. dryoglypta Meyrick are transferred to Paratepa, resulting in Paratepa clisias (Meyrick, 1912), new combination, and P. dryoglypta (Meyrick, 1913), new combination. The adult and female genitalia of Chapoania dentigera Razowski are illustrated for the first time. A preliminary comparison of the Argentine and Chilean tortricid faunas is provided.

Argyrotaenia socoromaensis sp. nov. (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae), a sexually dimorphic micromoth with polyphagous larvae from the arid Andes of northern Chile

Argyrotaenia socoromaensissp. nov. (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae, Tortricinae, Archipini) from the arid Andes of northern Chile is described and illustrated. Adults are sexually dimorphic, with differences in wing size, shape and pattern. The larvae feed on Stevia philippiana Hieron. (Asteraceae) and Lupinus oreophilus Phil. (Fabaceae). Genetic distance between DNA barcodes of male and female adults reared from larvae collected on the two hosts was 0–0.2% (K2P). The discovery of A. socoromaensissp. nov. represents the first record of the genus Argyrotaenia Stephens, 1852 and the tribe Archipini for the Chilean fauna of Tortricidae.
