Hilgardia, 1968, vol. 39, issue 1

Abstract: The genus Eucosma includes more than 150 described species in North America. Whereas larvae of most evidently are root and stem borers in plants such as woody Compositae, a small group of closely related species feeds in cones of coniferous trees. Diagnostic features, descriptions, host ranges, and geographical distributions for the ten members of this complex are given in the present paper. Four species are previously undescribed.
