Taxonomic studies on the family Tortricidae (Tortricoidea: Lepidoptera) from northwestern India -- Tribe Eucosmini (Olethreutinae)

The moths (Lepidoptera: Heterocera) of northern Maharashtra: a preliminary checklist

“…Sidhu et al (2010) documented 109 microlepidopteran species in the online version of the Zoological Survey of India. Finally, Rose & Pooni (2004, 2005 recorded 18 species belonging to the superfamily Pterophoroidea and 16 species belonging to the superfamily Tortricoidea from the north-western part of India.

Review of the genus Fibuloides Kuznetsov (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae: Olethreutinae) in China
