An overview of larval morphology of "advanced" microlepidoptera...but mostly Tortricidae

The larvae of Tortricidae are remarkably homogeneous. Even the major divisions within the family (i.e., subfamilies and tribes), which are well defined based on adult morphology, are not reflected in larval features. A few interesting modifications are scattered throughout the family, and these usually are easily attributable to feeding strategies that deviate from the general pattern of leaf-rolling (e.g., gall-inducing, stem-boring).
