nokianypomon

Nokianypomon is a genus of moth in the family Tortricidae. This genus is primarily found in Southeast Asia. Moths belonging to this genus are typically small to medium in size, with wingspans usually ranging from 15 to 25 millimeters. Their wing coloration can vary, often exhibiting intricate patterns of brown, grey, and sometimes subtle hints of other colors, which aids in camouflage against tree bark or foliage.

The larval stage of Nokianypomon moths, like other tortricid moths, are known to be leafrollers or borers. They often feed on the leaves of various plant species, causing damage that can affect the health and appearance of the host plants. Specific host plant associations are still being researched for many species within this genus.

The distribution of Nokianypomon species is concentrated in tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, including countries like Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Research into the specific ecology and life cycles of individual Nokianypomon species is ongoing, with entomologists working to better understand their roles in their respective ecosystems and any potential agricultural impacts. The classification within the Tortricidae family places them among a diverse group of moths known for their economically significant pest species.
