Abstract
Leaf eating Lepidoptera commonly found in North American vineyards include four species. Two of these, the grape leaffolder, Desmia funeralis (Hbner) (Pyralidae) and the western grape leaf skeletonizer, Harrisina brillians Barnes McDunnough (Zygaenidae), are considered major pests. A fifth species, the omnivorous leafroller Platynota stultana Walsingham (Tortricidae), can be found webbing leaves but primary damage is through direct feeding on flowers and berries that results in secondary infection of bunch rot organisms. Damage to leaves by this insect is of no economic importance. Omnivorous leafroller is a major grape pest of western United States. Less common defoliating lepidopterans include the Achemon sphinx moth, Eumorpha achemon (Drury) (Sphingidae) and the whitelined sphinx, Hyles lineata (F.) (Sphingidae).
