A taxonomic revision of the genus Ophiorrhabda Diakonoff (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae: Olethreutinae) from India with two new records

The present study offers a comprehensive taxonomic revision of the genus Ophiorrhabda Diakonoff, 1966 with detailed redescriptions of four Indian species: O. cellifera (Meyrick, 1912), O. mormopa (Meyrick, 1906), O. harmonica (Meyrick, 1905) and O. philocompsa (Meyrick, 1921). Notably, O. harmonica and O. philocompsa represent new records for the Indian fauna. This work includes illustrative documentation of the Indian species of Ophiorrhabda, accompanied by identification keys. Furthermore, an updated checklist of fifteen globally recognized species within the genus Ophiorrhabda is provided, encompassing comprehensive information on type localities, synonyms, distribution, and host plants. This study significantly enhances the current understanding of Ophiorrhabda species diversity and distribution.
