Eana

Eana

Eana is a genus of tortrix moths (family Tortricidae). It belongs to the tribe Cnephasiini of subfamily Tortricinae.^[1]

Synonyms

Obsolete scientific names for this genus are:^[2]

• Ablabia Hübner, 1825
• Argyroptera Duponchel, 1834 (but see below)
• Eutrachia Hübner, 1822
• Nephodesma Stephens, 1834 (unjustified emendation)
• Nephodesme Hübner, 1825
• Subeana Obraztsov, 1963

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).^[2]
