Synnoma is a genus of moths belonging to the subfamily Tortricinae of the family Tortricidae.[3] It contains only one species, the rabbitbrush webbing moth (Synnoma lynosyrana), which is found in North America, including Arizona.[4]
The wingspan is 14–21 mm. Adults have gray-brown wings speckled with dark spots and often some whitish patches. Females do not fly. There is one generation per year.
The larvae feed on Chrysothamnus, Ericameria and Gutierrezia species. The larvae create dense tents of silk mixed with food fragments, frass and cast skins. They are grayish green.[5]
