Pseudargyrotoza conwagana is a moth of the family Tortricidae found in Asia and Europe. It was first described by the Danish entomologists, Johan Christian Fabricius in 1775.

Description

The wingspan is 11–15 mm.[2] The thorax is crested. The forewings are triangular, yellow, more or less suffused with orange or ferruginous and faintly darker-strigulated. The basal patch is often darker and always followed by a pale yellow dorsal mark. The central and terminal fasciae are often darker or blackish-mixed, edged with leaden-metallic dots. The hindwings are blackish - grey, lighter anteriorly. The larva yellow-whitish; dorsal line darker; head yellow-brownish.[3]

Adults are on wing from May to July.[2]

The larvae feed on ash (Fraxinus excelsior), Manchurian ash (Fraxinus mandshurica), privet (Ligustrum species) (including broad-leaf privet (Ligustrum lucidum)) and barberry (Berberis species).
