Introduction
Eulia ministrana adults
The Euliini (about 240 species) are restricted to the Neotropical Region, with the exception of a few Nearctic species of Dorithia Powell and Anopina Obraztsov and the Holarctic Eulia ministrana. The larvae of Eulia ministrana and Proeulia Clarke are polyphagous leafrollers, with the latter feeding also feeding on the surface of fruit.
