Acleris stadiana is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae first described by William Barnes and August Busck in 1920. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Ontario.[2]
The larvae feed on Alnus and Betula species (including Betula alleghaniensis, Betula papyrifera, Betula populifolia).[3]
Taxonomy
The species was formerly treated as a synonym of Acleris semiannula. Adults of these two species are superficially similar, but the taxa differ in genital structure.[4]
