Discovery of two new species and three new records of the tribe Archipini (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) from India
We describe Choristoneura ribhoiensis sp. nov. Shashank & Santhosh and Terthreutis subrectangulus sp. nov. Shashank & Santhosh as new species (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae: Tortricinae: Archipini). We also report new country records for three species of Archipini, namely Clepsis laetornata (Wang Li & Wang, 2003), Diplocalyptis ferruginimixta Razowski, 2009, and Diplocalyptis operosa (Meyrick, 1908), which are recorded from India for the first time. We provide descriptions and photographic illustrations of adult habitus, wing venation and genitalia for these five species.
