Welcome to the Tortricids of Agricultural Importance website. The family Tortricidae contains approximately 9,800 species,
many of which are considered serious pests. Here you will find comprehensive resources for identifying adults and larvae of tortricids
that threaten agriculture in the United States. Pest species as well as common non-target species are covered in detailed fact sheets and interactive
identification keys. In addition, a DNA barcode database allows for the confirm of identifications using COI barcode data.
To begin, click on one of the menu items in the middle of this page. You may also navigate directly to the keys page by clicking on the
images at the right side of this page. If you have not used the keys previously, you will want to review the Lucid3 requirements
to verify that the correct software is installed and visit the information page for descriptions of the keys.
