Taniva is a monotypic moth genus belonging to the family Tortricidae erected by Carl Heinrich in 1926.[1] Its only species, Taniva albolineana, the spruce needleminer moth, was first described by William D. Kearfott in 1907.[2][3]
Distribution[]
It is found in the northern United States and Canada.[4]
Description[]
The wingspan is about 12 mm.
Biology[]
The larvae feed on various spruce tree species. They only feed on dead needles. They are green with a dark brown head.[5] The species overwinters in the larval stage in constructed nests made up of live and dead spruce needles. Pupation occurs from late May to early June in a green pupa in a grey cocoon.
Adults are on wing from mid-June to early July in one generation per year.
