Updated and expanded version of the Tortricids of Agricultural Importance

ITP is pleased to announce the release of Tortricid ID. Tortricid ID is the updated and expanded version of the Tortricids of Agricultural Importance (TortAI) website. The tool provides comprehensive resources for identifying larvae and adults of exotic tortricids that threaten agriculture in the United States as well as similar-looking, native or adventive species. This resource is not designed to identify every tortricid, but rather to reliably identify major pests and common non-pest species. The tool covers 214 target and non-target tortricids.

The tool includes:

  • Two matrix-based keys, one for larvae identification and the other for adult identification
  • A filterable image gallery
  • A filterable host plant database
  • Illustrated fact sheets
  • Pest host association information for each taxon
  • An overview of Tortricidae along with dissection guides
Tortricid ID joins ITP’s collection of over 50 identification tool websites.
