Eliachna digitana is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found from Chile (Ñuble Province, Santiago, Maule Region)[2] to Argentina (Chubut Province). The habitat ranges from coastal Nothofagus forests to arid uplands.
The length of the forewings is 5.9–7 millimetres (0.23–0.28 in) for males and 6.5–7.6 millimetres (0.26–0.30 in) for females. The ground colour of the forewings ranges from gold grey to red brown with dark brown reticulations. The hindwings are brownish grey with faint mottling. Adults have been recorded on wing from October to April.[3]
Etymology[edit]
The species name refers to the digitate process that comprises the distal portion of the sacculus.
