Ptychocroca keelioides |
Ptychocroca keelioides is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in Chile (Santiago Province and Valparaíso Region).[2]
Adults are variable, in most specimens the grey overscaling of the forewing diminishes the contrast between the dark basal area and the white or pale distal portion. They have a patch of beige-orange scaling on each side of the pouch that conceals the hindwing hair-pencil. Adults are on wing from October to February.
Etymology[]
The species name refers to the keel-like process of the aedeagus.[3]
