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.
