Description

Paleolepidopterites is an extinct genus of moths from the family Tortricidae which are known from fossils found in Russia and the United States. The genus contains three species Paleolepidopterites destructus, Paleolepidopterites florissantanus, and Paleolepidopterites sadilenkoi, which were originally placed within the genera Tortrix and Tortricites respectively.
