The Archipini is the largest tribe within the Tortricinae, with more than 2,000 described species in approximately 230 genera (Brown 2005Brown 2005:
Brown, J. W. 2005. Tortricidae (Lepidoptera) In : World Catalogue of Insects 5: 1-741. Apollo Books, Stenstrup, Denmark.). Its members are present in all regions but are considerably less diverse in the New World. Forewing pattern varies greatly; however, a large number of species have a generalized fasciatefasciate:
a wing pattern that is comprised primarily of transverse bands (fasciae) 
pattern, with a well-expressed basal and median fasciafascia:
a dark transverse band on the forewing
, and a dark costal spotcostal spot:
a patch of contrasting scales on the costa, usually a remnant of the postmedian or preterminal fascia 
. Male genitalia are characterized by an elongate, variably-shaped uncusuncus:
a sclerotized process which is fused to the posterodorsal margin of tergum IX
with apicoventral setae; a well-developed gnathosgnathos:
a narrow bandlike structure that joins the posterolateral edges of the tegumen and supports the anal tube
; and rounded, sometimes membranous or folded, valvaevalva:
an appendage flanking the intromittent organ that is used to clasp the female during copulation
. Females of nearly all Archipini have a dagger-shaped signumsignum:
a sclerotized projection or patch on the interior of the corpus bursae
with a capitulumcapitulum:
in reference to the female signum; a knoblike projection 
; this character is the only true synapomorphy for the group.
This group contains the most pest species of any tortricid tribe. Most are mostly polyphagous external feeders, typically leafrollers, and the tribe includes many pests, such as the light brown apple moth (Epiphyas postvittana), the oblique-banded leaf roller (Choristoneura rosaceana), the tea tortrix (Homona coffearia), and the notorious budworms (Choristoneura spp.) of North America. Some species, such as the light brown apple moth (Epiphyas postvittana), have been recorded feeding on more than 500 species of plants. Larvae of many species have few diagnostic morphological characters, and it may be difficult to separate larvae of various genera such as Archips, Argyrotaenia, Clepsis, etc. As such, many larval interceptions at U.S. ports of entry are not identified below the subfamily or tribe level except in certain cases of specific host/origin associations.
About one-third of the taxa treated on this site are archipines. These taxa include a mix of target and non-target species; they are arranged below by genus. For photos of additional non-targets not covered here, visit the Moth Photographers Group link below.
