Abstract

Polylopha vietnama sp. nov. (Tortricidae: Chlidanotinae: Polyorthini), a new pest of cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia, Lauraceae), is described from northern Vietnam. A related species, Lopharcha ditissima Diakonoff (1974) from Indonesia (Java), is transferred to the genus Polylopha, as P. ditissima (Diakonoff) comb. nov., resulting in nine species for the genus.
