Archips crataegana, the brown oak tortrix, is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in most of Europe [2] east to Japan.
The wingspan is about 20 mm for males and about 25 mm for females. Adults are sexually dimorphic. The forewings have a sinuate termen There is an irregular vertical, costal fold from the base to 2/3 and light brown or ochreous-brown There is a transverse dorsal spot near the base. The central fascia has the anterior edge angulated below middle. The costal patch is extended as a streak to the termen above the tornus. It is dark ochreous-brown. The fascia is attenuated and sometimes obsolete towards costa. The hindwings are grey, the apex in female sometimes yellowish. [3] Julius von Kennel provides a full description. [4]
They are on wing from June to August. [5]
The larvae feed on various deciduous trees, including Quercus, Ulmus, Fraxinus and Salix species. They feed in a tightly-rolled leaf. The species overwinters as an egg. [6]
