Eccoptocera Walsingham, 1907 (Tortricidae: Olethreutinae:
Eucosmini)
The Hawaiian endemic genus, Eccoptocera, can be distinguished from other
Hawaii Tortricidae by the fusion of forewing veins 7 and 8 (R5 and R4) (also
true for Spheterista), and a
lack of forewing vein 6 (M1). It is one of five genera (Spheterista,
Epiphyas, Eccoptocera,
Strepsicrates, Epinotia)
where the males have a costal fold along the forewing.
