Eana

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

Synonyms

Obsolete scientific names for this genus are:

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

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).
