Eana
Encyclopedia
Eana is a genus
of tortrix moths (family
Tortricidae). It belongs to the tribe
Cnephasiini
of subfamily Tortricinae
.
The type species
of Argyroptera (A. gouana) is not very well identifiable from its 1767 description (as Tortrix
gouana) by Linnaeus. It was suspected to be a species of Aethes
, but more probably is E. argentana. Hypostephanuncia is sometimes listed in the synonymy of Eana, but it is actually a junior synonym of Cnephasia
(from which it was originally split
).
