Query: How many species of moth are there in the family Tortricidae?
The Tortricidae are a family of moths, commonly known as tortrix moths or leafroller moths,[1] in the order Lepidoptera. This large family has over 10,350 species described, and is the sole member of the superfamily Tortricoidea,[2] although the genus Heliocosma is sometimes placed within this superfamily. Many of these are economically important pests. Olethreutidae is a junior synonym. The typical resting posture is with the wings folded back, producing a rather rounded profile.
Eucosma essexana, the Essex phaneta moth, is a species of tortricid moth in the family Tortricidae.

This is a list of the Australian moth species of the family Tortricidae. It also acts as an index to the species articles and forms part of the full List of moths of Australia.The following species belong to the tribe Grapholitini, but have not been assigned to a genus yet. Given here is the original name given to the species when it was first described:
Paralobesia liriodendrana, the tulip-tree leaftier moth, is a species of tortricid moth in the family Tortricidae.
Syndemis cedricola, the Lebanese cedar shoot moth, is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in Lebanon and Turkey.
Tortricid moths are generally small, with a wingspan of 3 cm or less.[4] Many species are drab and have mottled and marbled brown colors, but some diurnal species are brightly colored and mimic other moths of the families Geometridae and Pyralidae.
While most butterflies and moths are terrestrial, many species of Pyralidae are truly aquatic with all stages except the adult occurring in water. Many species from other families such as Arctiidae, Nepticulidae, Cosmopterygidae, Tortricidae, Olethreutidae, Noctuidae, Cossidae, and Sphingidae are aquatic or semiaquatic.
Most species of this genus are quite host specific and use a few species of moth as their hosts and phylogenetic analysis indicates that the more closely related the species of wasp are to one another the more similar the species of host selected tend to be. For example the wasps of the species group named after "Copidosoma cervius" are all parasitoids of moths in the family Geometridae while those in the "nacoliae" species group attack caterpillars of the families Pyralidae and Tortricidae.
