Resumo
The Lepidoptera of the Tortricidae family are economically important owing to their polyphagous capacity ( Brown et al., 2008 ). In this family, the genus Crocidosema (Epinotia) (Zeller, 1847) stands out because it contains species that can damage several plants, including fruit ( Brown et al., 2014 ), cotton ( Mensah et al., 2012 ), and several legumes ( Brown et al., 2008 ). In Brazil, the most important species in this genus is Crocidosema ( Epinotia) aporema (Walsingham, 1914), which is especially harmful in soybean ( Siqueira and Siqueira, 2012 ). This species also occurs in soybean in other parts of South America, such as Uruguay, Chile, and Argentina ( Formentini et al., 2015 ). On the other hand, there are other species with a more restricted distribution, as is the case of Crocidosema (Epinotia) cosmoptila Meyrick, 1917, which is only registered in Argentina ( Meyrick, 1917 ). In addition, to date, their host plants are unknown. Thus, the present study reports the species C. cosmoptila for the first time in Brazil ( Duarte and Casagrande, 2018 ).(AU)
