Xenotemna is a genus of moths belonging to the family Tortricidae. It contains only one species, Xenotemna pallorana, which is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Alaska to California, east to Florida and north to Quebec and Ontario.[1]
The length of the forewings is 8.5–14 mm. The colour of the forewings varies from pale yellow to cream or light brown. The hindwings are brownish grey and white or yellowish. Adults are on wing from May to August in two generations per year.
The larvae feed on Aster, Erigeron annuus, Silphium, Solidago, Symphyotrichum novae-angliae, Hypericum perforatum, Medicago sativa, Melilotus officinalis, Trifolium, Monarda fistulosa, Picea glauca, Pinus banksiana, Pinus resinosa, Pinus strobus, Pinus sylvestris, Fragaria, Malus, Prunus pumila, Prunus serotina, Prunus virginiana, Rosa, Comandra umbellata, Ulmus and Verbena from within folded leaves. They reach a length of 16–28 mm. The species overwinters as a mid-instar larva and pupation takes place in the final larval feeding site.[2]

Xenotemna pallorana est une espèce nord-américaine de lépidoptères (papillons) de la famille des Epermeniidae. Elle est l'unique représentante du genre monotypique Xenotemna.
L'imago a une longueur de l'aile antérieure (LAA) de 8,5 à 14 mm. La couleur des ailes antérieures varie du jaune pâle au crème ou au brun clair. Les ailes postérieures sont gris brunâtre et blanches ou jaunâtres.
La chenille mesure plus de 20 mm[1].
On trouve Xenotemna pallorana en Amérique du Nord, de l'Alaska à la Californie, vers l'est jusqu'à la Floride, au Québec et à l'Ontario[1].
L'espèce produit deux générations par an, et les adultes volent de mai à août. L'espèce passe l'hiver sous forme de chenille à mi-stade larvaire, et la nymphose a lieu dans le site d'alimentation final des chenilles.
La chenille mine les feuilles de sa plante hôte. Elle se nourrit des Aster, Erigeron annuus, Silphium, Solidago, Symphyotrichum novae-angliae, Hypericum perforatum, Medicago sativa[1], Melilotus officinalis, Trifolium, Monarda fistulosa, Picea glauca, Pinus banksiana, Pinus resinosa, Pinus strobus, Pinus sylvestris, Fragaria, Malus, Prunus pumila, Prunus serotina, Prunus virginiana, Rosa, Comandra umbellata, Ulmus et Verbena.
