Arotrophora
Template:Short description Template:Automatic taxobox
Arotrophora is a genus of tortrix moth. They occur in Australia, where they are strongly associated with the plant family Proteaceae. All of the known Australian larvae bore in Banksia flower spikes. The genus was recently discovered from the Oriental region[1] and one species is found on Papua.[2]
Taxonomy
The genus was first published by amateur entomologist Edward Meyrick.
It is currently placed in subfamily Tortricinae (although most entomologists now consider this an unnatural group[3]), and sometimes in the tribe Cnephasiini, although it is quite different from Northern Hemisphere genera placed in that tribe.[2]
It is closely related to genera including Peraglyphis and Syllomatia; together, these genera are sometimes referred to as the Arotrophora group.
