Orthocomotis
Dognin, 1905
Orthocomotis
is comprised of 65 described species of large, brightly colored tortricids, distributed from
Mexico
to
Argentina
, including the Caribbean (i.e.,
Dominican Republic
). The vast majority of documented host plants come from the work of
Janzen and Hallwachs (2009)
, who provide nearly 100 records of adults reared from larvae collected in Area de Conservación in northwestern
Costa Rica
.
Orthocomotis nitida
Clarke, 1956
has been reared from the leaves of
Nectandra martinicensis
Mez
,
N. hihua
(Ruiz and Pav.) Rohwer
,
N. umbrosa
(Kunth) Mez
,
Ocotea insularis
(Meisn.) Mez
,
O. atirrensis
Mez and Donn. Sm.
,
O. cernua
(Nees) Mez
,
O. floribunda
(Sw.) Mez
,
O. puberula
(Rich.) Nees
,
O. tenera
Mez and Donn. Sm.
,
O. whitei
Woodson
,
Persea americana
Mill.
,
P. schiedeana
Nees
, and
Licaria brenesii
W. Burger
(all
Lauraceae
), with single records from
Cupania juglandifolia
A. Rich. (Sapindaceae)
and
Stryphnodendron microstachyum
Poepp. (Fabaceae)
.
Orthocomotis herbaria
(Busck, 1920)
has been reared only from
Nectandra hihua
(Ruiz and Pav.) Rohwer (Lauraceae)
(
Brown 2003
).
In
Ecuador
, three species of
Orthocomotis
were reared:
O. marmorobrunnea
Razowski and Wojtusiak, 2006
on
Nectandra
sp. (
Lauraceae
) (n = 1);
O. parandina
Razowski and Wojtusiak, 2010
on
Chusquea scandens
Kunth (Poaceae)
(n = 1),
Ilex yurumanguinis
Cuatrec. (Aquifoliaceae)
(n = 1),
Nectandra cissiflora
(Lauraceae)
(n = 1), and an unidentified host (n = 1); and
O. yanayacu
Razowski and Wojtusiak, 2010
, described from the reared material from Yanayacu, on
Ocotea
sp. 3 (
Lauraceae
) (n = 1) and
Nectandra cissiflora
(Lauraceae)
(n = 1).
