The larvae (caterpillars) feed on European silver fir (Abies alba), Norway spruce (Picea abies), junipers (Juniperus) and pines (Pinus).[1]
Synonyms
Junior synonyms of this species are:[2]
- Grapholitha duplicana Zetterstedt, 1839
- Tortrix dahliana Frolich, 1828
- Grapholitha duplicana var. graeca Staudinger, 1871
- Tortrix (Grapholitha) interruptana Herrich-Schffer, 1851
- Grapholita dublicana [sic] ab. major Prohaska, 1922
- Laspeyresia duplicana (Zetterstedt, 1839)
In addition, the specific name interruptana was used in a list of tortrix moths by G.A.W. Herrich-Schäffer in 1848 already. But he did not provide a description then, thus the scientific name – later determined to refer to the same species as J.W. Zetterstedt's Grapholitha duplicana – was validly established by him only in 1851.[3]
