Planotortrix notophaea

Planotortrix notophaea, the blacklegged leafroller, is a species of moth in the family Tortricidae.

[2] In 1946 J. T. Salmon, thinking he was describing a new subspecies, named this moth Ctenopseutis obliquana distincta.

[6] The specimen Salmon used for this description was collected by Graham Turbutt on the 23 April 1946 at Great Island and is now held at the Auckland War Memorial Museum.

[4] Endemic host species include Aristotelia serrata, Coprosma grandifolia, Metrosideros excelsa, and Prumnopitys taxifolia.

[10] The larvae feed on leaves, buds and stems from a shelter made of foliage webbed together with silk.
