Lobesia aeolopa is a moth of the family Tortricidae first described by Edward Meyrick in 1907.[1] It is found in Vietnam,[2] Thailand, India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Java, the Solomon Islands, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, São Tomé and Príncipe, Tanzania, South Africa, Réunion and Madagascar.[3]
Larvae have been found on Ricinus communis, Melochia umbellata, Pluchea indica,[5] Lantana camara, Cajanus indicus, Gleditsia triacanthos and Flacourtia indica, but are possibly predatory on aphids, rather than feeding on plant tissue.[6][7]
