The Tortricinae is a subfamily of the Leafrollers (Tortricidae), of which about 4,200 species have been described worldwide. It is a monophyletic group: organisms that are believed to have shared a common ancestor, which is itself included in the taxon, and all of whose descendants are placed in the same group. The Tortricinae is a sister group of the Olethreutinae. The primary food source is from 2 or more plant families with which they are polyphagous. The eggs are laid individually, in small groups, or in large masses. The hatched larvae are mainly leafrollers.
