Although recorded as a pest of grapevine (Cranshaw et al. 2011), it is believed that no stage of the wasp’s life cycle would be present on the commodity after harvesting and grading. The larvae feed on insects (Cranshaw 2008) and adults feed on nectar (Cranshaw et al. 2011).

Archips machlopis (Meyrick, 1912)
Synonyms: Cacoecia machlopis Meyrick, 1912)
[Tortricidae]
Leaf rolling moth, Bell moth
|
Yes (Puttarudriah et al. 1961; Varma 1984; Vanitha et al. 2011)
Archips machlopis has frequently been misidentified in the literature as Archips micaceana.
Previous reports of A .micaceana in India are likely to be misidentifications of A .machlopis (Tuck 1990; Robinson et al. 1994; Rose and Pooni 2004; Meijerman and Ulenberg 2011)
|
No records found
|
Yes
Table grapes are a host of Archips machlopis(Puttarudriah et al. 1961; Zhang 1994).
Archips machlopis caused damage to grapevines at Bangalore and Mysore in India where the larvae fed under thin webbing on the epidermis of the leaves, the main stalks of the bunch and the berries themselves and pupated within the webbing (Puttarudriah et al. 1961).
|
Yes
Archips machlopis larvae feed on a wide range of plants including cereals, citrus, coffee, cotton, grapes, ornamental crops, eucalypts, pome fruits, strawberry, mango and tea (Robinson et al. 2010). Many of these species are present in Australia.
This pest has been reported from India, Burma, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam (Puttarudriah et al. 1961; Bharathie 1975; Varma 1984; Tuck 1990).
Environments with climates similar to these regions exist in various parts of Australia, suggesting that A .machlopis has the potential to establish and spread in Australia.
|
Yes
Archips machlopis has caused damage to grapevines at Bangalore and Mysore in India (Puttarudriah et al. 1961). This leafroller is polyphagous and causes considerable damage to eucalyptus seedlings (Varma 1984).

Specimens labelled as E .ambiguella in the British Museum of Natural History (dating from 1889, 1890) were re identified as E. turbinaris by JD Bradley in 1957 (CABI-EPPO 1986). India has stated that E. ambiguella is absent from India (DPP 2012). No information can be found to associate E. turbinaris with grapes.

Feeds on leaves (Alford 2007). In plague proportions, this pest feeds on everything, including fruit (Mijuskovic and Badulovic 1960). However, this pest under those conditions was at the later larval stage, which is about 6 centimetres long, before feeding on grapes (Mijuskovic and Badulovic 1960) and these larvae would be seen and removed during harvesting and packing procedures.
