TL;DR: A new genus is assigned provisionally to the Dichrorampha-group of genera (Grapholitini) on the basis of the following characters: forewing termen with a row of black dots, forewing fringe with a shallow subapical notch, hindwing veins R s and M 1 separate and parallel or subparallel.
Abstract: Riculorampha ancyloides Rota & Brown, gen. n., sp. n. from Florida, is described and illustrated. Th e type series was reared from the fruit of redbay, Persea borbonia (Lauraceae). Th e new genus is assigned provisionally to the Dichrorampha-group of genera (Grapholitini) on the basis of the following characters: forewing termen with a row of black dots, forewing fringe with a shallow subapical notch, hindwing veins R s and M 1 separate and parallel or subparallel, female frenulum with two bristles, and corpus bursae with a single signum. Th e last character is shared with Dichrorampha Guenee, Ricula Heinrich, Riculoides Pastrana, and Goditha Heinrich.

TL;DR: In a comparison of studies focused on fruit- and seed-feeding insects in Thailand, Panama, and Kenya, Grapholitini represented 73% to 90% of the total number of reared specimens of Tortricidae, and 45% to 65% (in Panama) of thetotal number of tortricid species.
Abstract: A survey of Lepidoptera reared from seeds and fruits primarily on Barro Colorado Island, Panama, yielded 444 specimens of Tortricidae representing 20 species. Nearly 90% of reared tortricids and 65% of the species are members of the tribe Grapholitini, a group that includes numerous economically important pests of fruit worldwide. We present host records for the following species: Histura panamana Brown, Platynota obliqua Walsingham complex, Platynota subargentea Walsingham, Spinipogon triangularis Brown, Cryptaspasma perseana Gilligan and Brown, Steblopotamia streblopa (Meyrick), Cydia pyraspis (Meyrick) complex, Eriosocia guttifera (Meyrick), Riculorampha ancyloides Rota and Brown, Grapholita mabea Razowski, Ricula croceus Brown, Ricula lacistema Brown, Ricula sp. 1, Ricula sp. 2, Talponia sp. 1, Talponia sp. 2, and four unidentified Grapholitini. In a comparison of studies focused on fruit- and seed-feeding insects in Thailand, Panama, and Kenya, Grapholitini represented 73% (in Thailand) to 90% (in Panama) of the total number of reared specimens of Tortricidae, and 45% (in Kenya) to 65% (in Panama) of the total number of tortricid species. However, a similar survey in Papua New Guinea produced considerably different results, with Grapholitini representing 46% of the tortricid specimens and only 20% of the species.

TL;DR: Four new species of Tortricidae reared from fruit in Panama are described and illustrated and additional field-collected specimens of Spinipogon triangularis from Costa Rica are included in the type series of that species.
Abstract: Four new species of Tortricidae reared from fruit in Panama are described and illustrated: Histura panamana sp. nov. (Chlidanotinae: Polyorthini); Spinipogon triangularis sp. nov. (Tortricinae: Cochylini); Ricula croceus sp. nov. (Olethreutinae: Grapholitini); and Ricula lacistema sp. nov. (Olethreutinae: Grapholitini). Additional field-collected specimens of Spinipogon triangularis from Costa Rica are included in the type series of that species.
